Around 50 `tiny homes` for homeless veterans planned at city-owned site on Milwaukee`s northwest side

A plan to develop around 50 "tiny homes" as housing for homeless veterans is moving forward on Milwaukee`s northwest side.

The project is planned for a city-owned site at North 60th Street and West Green Tree Road, according to a Wednesday announcement from the Department of City Development.

The proposal is based on a Racine development: the James A. Peterson Veterans Village.
