From homeless to a place of their own: How ‘A Tiny Home for Good’ is helping people rebuild their lives | CNN

Syracuse, NY —

Andrew Lunetta saw the same pattern over and over while working at homeless shelters in Syracuse, New York.

Men would leave, move into the cheapest housing available, and soon return looking for a bed.

“It was a matter of months, sometimes weeks, that the same men would come back to the shelter,” said Lunetta, 36.

After nearly a decade, the lesson was clear to him: People were not failing at housing; housing was failing them.
