Part 2/6:
Robert Zaccheo, CEO of Project Lift, outlines the initiative to construct tiny homes for those whose residences were damaged. Each structure, with a footprint of about 240 square feet and a total area of approximately 426 square feet, includes provisions for two bedrooms, catering to families displaced by the tornadoes.
The construction is not solely facilitated by seasoned professionals; rather, it incorporates the participation of local youth aged 14 to 25, providing them with vital skills while addressing a pressing community need. Zaccheo emphasizes the importance of this program, which employs six to ten distinct teams concentrating on the construction of these houses. Through this work, adolescents learn invaluable hands-on skills while contributing to the recovery of their community.
