From the Streets to Stability
Help Us Build Homes and Hope
About Tiny Homes
Rebuilding Lives, Restoring Dignity
Imagine a community where those who’ve lived on the streets find not just shelter, but healing, purpose, and a chance to rebuild. Each of the 15 beautifully crafted tiny homes will provide secure, stable shelter for two residents, totaling 30 individuals who’ll benefit from this life-changing initiative.
The Tiny Homes Project, led by Yes We Can! Worship Center under Bishop Sherman D. Manning and designed by acclaimed architect Norberto Nardi, is more than housing – it’s a holistic approach to tackling homelessness head-on.
What we do
What makes Tiny Homes Special
Each resident will have access to weekly classes, skills training, and specialized workshops aimed at equipping them for reintegration into society. Topics will cover essential needs – from trauma recovery and job-readiness to community-building and mental health support.
Interfaith support
This interfaith initiative unites pastors, rabbis, imams, priests, and professionals from various backgrounds, including healthcare experts like Dr. Douglas Mungin, to offer support, counseling, and a fresh start for each resident.
How you can help
It costs $25,000 to construct each tiny home. You can play a pivotal role in this groundbreaking project by sponsoring a whole home, multiple homes, or even part of one. Every contribution, big or small, directly impacts lives – and all donations are tax-deductible.
What others are saying
I am a business Attorney in Sherman Oaks.I volunteered at a Yes We Can ! Worship Center homeless party in South Central. We had showers, medical staff, dental care, haircuts, clothing, shoes, socks, and underwear. There was music and housing possibilities on site. This was truly a transformational event which was the vision of Bishop Sherman D. Manning. I now chair the board for Yes We Can ! Worship Center.
Message from
Bishop Sherman D. Manning
Both the Bible and the Torah teaches us that when we give to the poor we are Lending to God!I have a vision and a dream that our Tiny homes project will serve as a beacon of hope, a model as well as a manual for Transformational housing.
We utilize holistic methodologies and a strategic approach to housing. In order the break the curse of homelessness and to disrupt recidivism back into homelessness we must treat the PTSD (post traumatic STREET disorder) and also treat mental illness and drug addiction.
Enter our experts…We have a team of volunteers (Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Lawyers, Rabbis, Pastors, Imams as well as Business leaders) dedicated to donating time and treatment to our residenses.
We also offer an awesome opportunity to college students who need volunteer credits as well as who want internships. We will model Habitat for humanity in our construction. We will allow volunteer carpenters, students, Professors as well as the community to help build these tiny homes. We are accepting volunteers right now.. We can do this together (as a community).
Yes We Can!
