Her office determined that structures under 120 square feet are exempt from most building code requirements. They could be built quickly and&nbsp;without complex permits. Tiny homes are a vast improvement over tents and tent cities. The institute now operates 16 tiny home villages in the Puget Sound region.</wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364//p>/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/n/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/n/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/n/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/n<p>/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/u201cThey are a transitional housing option,/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/u201d Lee said. /wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/u201cMost residents typically stay about three weeks before we/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/u2019re able to place them in more stable housing./wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/u201d</wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364//p>/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/n/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/n/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/n/wp-json/wp/v2/article/98364/n<p>I asked Lee about my friend Amelia.
