More cities across the country are amending their zoning codes to allow smaller homes within their city limits for sheltering the homeless.
The Terre Haute, Indiana, Board of Zoning Appeals approved changes to allow the construction of six tiny homes to be constructed at 2134 N. 23rd St. The dwellings, targeted for homeless veterans, would also use property to the north along Maple Avenue as a park area and as possible expansion ground in the future.

The zoning appeals board Wednesday approved a variance sought by the Terre Haute Area Association of Realtors to allow the tiny homes to be 360 square feet, down from the required 512-square-foot minimum, and allowed the homes to be 15 feet wide instead of a minimum of 23 feet wide.
The homes will be 15 feet wide by 24 feet long (360 square feet) with a 15-foot- by 6-foot covered porch.
