Join the First Idaho Veterans Tiny Home Project Committee today! Open to all!
“Operation Freedom Crossroads” is a projected tiny home community devoted to Veterans that have at one-point experienced homelessness in The State of Idaho. The hope is to provide transitional or long-term temporary housing for veterans with the goal of them owning their own home. As well as a community of resources, life skills, and more to ensure they remain on their feet long term. These resources are to be coordinated between civilian and veteran service organizations.
Idaho Veterans is looking for amazing individuals throughout the treasure valley and beyond who would be willing to be a part of this monumental movement to help our homeless veterans get a fresh start at life.
