“Tiny Victories 2.0. A Tale of Empathy” tells the story of Chioco Design's team journey when building a micro home for an individual who has struggled with chronic and sustained homelessness. How organizations like AIA Design Voice and Mobile Loaves & Fishes works timely to offer hope for the community. The word “empathy” serves as a prompt in the development, and execution, but mostly the idea of leaving behind preconceptions of what it is like to live without a home.
