In an effort to attract teachers to an area that lacks affordable housing, the Vail School District announced plans to build a village of tiny homes. The school district that is located approximately 20 miles southeast of Tuscan, AZ intends to start with at least four homes on land the district owns before the start of the next school year.
Since most new teachers simply cannot afford to purchase full-sized homes, Vail Associate Superintendent John Carruth hopes to offer them a cheap and hip option that will allow them to integrate into the Vail community. He also hopes that the homes will work to attract those teachers looking to downsize and minimize their carbon footprint.
