Occupy Madison seeks zoning change for permanent tiny house village on Aberg Avenue


Occupy Madison Inc., the nonprofit organization behind a movement to offer small, portable houses to homeless people, is seeking zoning changes that would allow a 22-home tiny house village to be permanently located at 1901 Aberg Ave.

The Aberg location is Occupy Madison`s second Tiny House Village. The first opened in 2014 on North Third Street.

In October, the City Council approved temporary zoning that would allow a village of 28 tiny houses to exist at 1901 Aberg Ave., in order to provide immediate access to shelter for people experiencing housing insecurity or homelessness ahead of the cold winter months.
