The concept of the tiny house village is to build new affordable housing and revitalize the local area. This project began as an idea sprung from the local church across the street. Local 33 members installed two Mini-Split Units in two houses that were close to completion. JATC instructors and the training coordinator roughed the line sets early in the summer of 2021. Fifth-year apprentices completed the final install and start-up on September 1, 2021. Lowes supplied the Bosch Mini-Splits and the Local 33 JATC supplied all other materials for the install, along with all the labor.
