The document outlines a community initiative in Garfield to build a tiny house, involving stakeholder feedback on house plans to ensure optimal design based on local preferences. It discusses project changes since December, including starting a tiny house blog and selecting a build site, and presents several house options with pros and cons for evaluation. The final goal is to create a functional tiny house that aligns with community needs, including accessibility to gardens and public transportation.
