Sound Foundations NW

We're aiming for a Grassroots Tiny Home Sponsorship, thanks to an anonymous donor who's presented a challenge.

If we earn 100 donations from brand new donors, starting at just $10, by Labor Day Monday, that anonymous donor will fill out the remaining $4500 cost of another new tiny home. If we've already passed that mark, the donor will add enough to get to TWO new homes!

So it's not the amount that matters, it's the participation. Can you be a new donor and help us meet the challenge? What a great way to help change the lives of up to 60 folks on the street, for about the price of two coffee drinks. Thank You!

Thank You!

Let's keep building!!

Thank You for Helping Meet the Moment!

With help from donations large and small, we raised more than enough during to claim all of the matching funds offered by two foundations, and then some! As of this week, you all supported the cost of materials for nearly 25 more tiny homes making this our most successful giving event ever!

The Seattle City and King County administrations have both launched ambitious shelter expansion plans that endorse quickly expanding solutions that are already in place and working – like tiny homes and villages. This is what we’ve been advocating since 2018.

Thanks so much to all of you who donated, talked about us, and helped spread the word, and also to our two foundation partners, the Beeks Family Legacy Foundation and the Brettler Family Foundation, for their confidence in all of our volunteers and in the tiny home solution. Thank You!

Thank you for helping meet this moment while the momentum is with us. Your actions on behalf of our homeless neighbors mean more and more folks sleeping inside where it’s warm, safe, and dry. Thank you! Now let’s go build those homes …

Keeping in mind that this video is from 2018, it’s a great explanation of the and tiny home village model for sheltering those who need it. Those stories of the residents who shared them back then, are repeated again and again throughout the years. Sadly, the problem has only gotten worse. In 2026, True Hope village still operates in Seattle’s Central District, one of a total of 20 Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI)-run tiny house villages in the greater Seattle area, plus several others run by Chief Seattle Club, Nickelsville, Catholic Community Services, and others. See a map of approximate village locations on our website.
