The Kennewick Housing Authority (KHA) has developed a one acre site with 16 units of micro housing for homeless families, homeless veterans, and homeless persons with disabilities. The modular homes were manufactured in Idaho, trucked to the site, and set on traditional foundations and fully hooked up to site utilities. Unit types include four studios, four 1-bedroom, and eight 2-bedroom units, ranging from 250 to 600 sq. ft.
