A Canadian millionaire has built 99 ‘tiny homes’ in his town in an attempt to tackle local homelessness.
Marcel LeBrun sold his company for an eight figure sum, and decided to put some of the money towards tackling a serious problem.
In the town of Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, at least 1,800 people found themselves homeless for at least a day last year according to the CBC.
Aiming to tackle at least a chunk of this problem, he invested $4 million in developing what he calls the ’12 Neighbours’ gated community, which will ultimately consist of 99 small homes for people to live in.
