A Story of Hope with Barb Oliver

John and Zack are joined by Barb Oliver, Director of Operations for Sound Foundations NW. Sound Foundations NW is a non-profit organization building tiny homes and communities for
the homeless in Seattle, WA.

Barb's organization created an innovative approach to building
high-quality tiny homes through a series of unique templates called jigs to build the
parts of the tiny home: the platform (floor), walls, and the roof. These simple but effective homes are built to last 20 years.

In collaboration with the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI), Sound Foundations NW’s primary focus is to provide LIHI with quality tiny homes and support the launch of 13 more villages in the greater Seattle area. For the past three years, Sounds Foundations NW has averaged building two homes every three weeks. With the new assembly line system in place at their new location called the Hope Factory, they can now build up to 4 homes per week.
