This is a story of innovation. Not innovation in the sense of a technological advance but in using tiny homes to solve a housing problem. In 2017, Hurricane Irma struck Florida and left a path of destruction in its wake. In particular, the Florida Key’s were hit hard, losing countless homes. The Key’s are a tourist hotspot, and hospitality workers are the backbone of the community. Brett Hiltbrand, his wife Kim, and their team from Cornerstone Tiny Homes worked tirelessly to construct affordable and, more importantly, code-compliant, tiny homes on foundations to provide an innovative and affordable solution to bring that vital workforce back. Brett joins John and Zack to discuss how he found viable solutions through educating code and building officials to get the job done.
