Terrilee Kelford in front of the Tiny Home

On today’s podcast episode we speak with Terrilee Kelford, board chair of Cornerstone Landing, a non-profit that provides assistance for homeless youth. She talks about the relentless issue of homelessness in her county and the difficulties in tackling it, which inspired the organization’s latest project – the building of Tiny Homes. An innovative solution to providing safe, affordable housing for the youth and others in the community, the project has its own challenges which Terrilee shares.

But that’s not stopping her team from building small and dreaming big. Listen to her story below in our podcast.
