Canadian millionaire Marcel Lebrun is building 99 tiny homes to fight homelessness in the community.
Former tech executive Marcel Lebrun is in the process of building 99 tiny homes for people affected by homelessness. In an interview with the Faytene Show on YouTube in April 2023, Lebrun explained that before coming up with his tiny house community concept, he traveled throughout the U.S. and Canada to see what other organizations were doing about homelessness and poverty, and what was working.
Lebrun is the founder of 12 Neighbours Project, which seeks to “inspire and educate people to love their neighbors like never before.” To that end, as Good News Network stated, he’s invested about $4 million of his own money and received government grants totaling $12 million to build the tiny homes for formerly homeless residents.
