Tiny House Alliance USA Is A Voice For Small
Tiny House Manufactuers And Owner Builders
One of the greatest barriers to tiny houses on wheels to be recognized as a permanent dwelling is because they are most typically built to recreational vehicles, which are considered a temporary residence. Tiny House Alliance USA has been at the forefront to develop new ASTM Tiny House Standards to advance the industry for the acceptance of tiny houses as a viable solution to affordable housing and to be classified as a permanent dwelling.

The ‘Tiny House Architects’Of Our Own Future, Not It’s Victims
I love the wisdom of Buckminster Fuller and I threw in a tiny house twist in his famous quote about architects of the future, so I wanted to give him credit.
