A NEW tiny home village in Wisconsin is offering free rent to qualifying individuals.
The project, meant to help veterans, is slated to open for residents next year.
Veterans Community Project is a charity creating tiny home villages for homeless veterans across the Midwest.
The group is now planning to open its newest location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Its 40 tiny homes will be used as transitional housing for individuals and families.
It's aiming to open its 7-acre campus in 2025, depending on its fundraising efforts, Milwaukee Business Journal reported.
However, not everyone will be able to live in the community.
HOW TO MOVE IN
VCP communities are meant for US veterans who are experiencing homelessness.
The group says it prioritizes people for housing based on "vulnerability and need."
All applicants must undergo an interview and a background check to determine their eligibility.
Most of the homes planned for the Milwaukee community will be 240 square feet — meant for individuals.
However, there will be eight family residences of 320 square feet.

VCP has already opened several communities, including in Kansas City, Missouri, Saint Louis, Missouri, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Resident veterans at the villages have frequent meetings with case managers.
While there isn't a set timeline for how long a veteran can stay in a VCP house, the group says the average is around 11 months.
More transitional housing programs are planned for Glendale, Arizona and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The group is largely funded by private donations.
