Abstract
The homelessness epidemic, which has grown to be a significant issue in many parts of the US, is mostly affecting Oregon. This study investigates the current state of Oregon’s homelessness and how tiny houses can be a creative way to deal with Oregon's rising homelessness problem. The state has seen a sharp increase in homelessness since COVID-19, which has affected several groups, particularly men. The study uses several secondary data sources and case studies like Dignity Village and Tallahassee’s “The Dweller Project” to investigate the efficacy of tiny dwellings while taking into account their affordability and safety. The quantitative data shows how serious the homelessness problem is in Oregon and how urgently a solution is required. Several Oregon communities, including Portland and Eugene, have launched tiny home projects in an effort to tackle homelessness. They were all successful in giving people a sense of security and lowering their rate of homelessness.
