Tiny Houses

In 2017, the Rotary Club of Lancaster took on an innovative and first-of-its- kind in our area project in Lancaster County – building tiny houses to help fill a big need for women and children in our community.

This project was partially funded by the dollars that the Rotary Club of Lancaster raises.

Volunteers from Rotary Clubs in Lancaster County built two "tiny houses" for homeless mothers and children, clients of the Spanish American Civic Association. Occupants of the compact, 206- square-feet houses stayed for up to 45 days while they looked for a place to live. Priority was given to women with children. Caseworkers assisted the clients.

The tiny homes were the first in Lancaster city. They needed to meet city regulations before being moved to SACA's property in the 500 block of Pershing Avenue in Lancaster city.
