RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Tiny home villages are on the way for homeless and low-income families in Richmond. Earlier this week, City Council approved the sale of two lots off Chamberlayne Avenue, totaling around 5 acres, to the nonprofit Eden Village of Richmond for $100. Founder Cathy Ritter said 30-35 homes will be built on 1501 Fendall Ave and 1601 Fendall Ave, within the next 2 years. She said her previous jobs serving the less fortunate inspired her to act.
