What is the Tiny House Movement?

As a social movement, the Tiny House Movement is an effort to encourage or support the process of lifestyle simplification and downsizing, starting with the idea of smaller living spaces. A combination of factors, including environmentalism and financial pragmatism, are the main driving forces behind this movement.

One of the major financial driving factors behind the Tiny House Movement is the fact that the majority of Americans live barely within or beyond their means. Tiny houses require less space, less building material and less utility usage to build and sustain, making them a more affordable and efficient option for those who cannot easily afford to live in a standard-sized house.
