Arnold dished out $250,000 of his own money and partnered up with the nonprofit Village For Vets to build the tiny homes.

Tiny homes have become a new trendy thing in the state of California. In recent years, tiny homes have been a model to decrease the state’s homeless population. The homes are about 64 square feet each and can be quickly built. Each tiny home comes with two beds, a small desk, and full heating & air-conditioning.

These homes are being considered lifesavers for some of the homeless veterans. One vet, in particular, Ferris Keams, told Fox 11, “No squirrels and no rats. It’s home.”
