Toronto-based carpenter Khaleel Seivwright has been hard at work since September building tiny homes for local people experiencing homelessness this winter. The structures he has built and delivered to individuals who need them are currently located in parks across the city, but are each placed on wheels and can be moved as needed. Seivwright’s project received widespread media attention last month as donations to his GoFundMe page started to roll in. The number is at $129,485 as of Friday. With the donated funds, Seivwright has been able to move to a new workshop and gather a team of more than 10 people to help with the construction process. They have been producing around seven tiny homes a week, although Seivwright says he hopes to increase the output as winter sets in. Last year, 128 people who were experiencing homelessness died in Toronto. A least 46 died between November and February. The City of Toronto has received criticism for not doing enough to protect the growing number of people living on the streets as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. “There are people falling through the cracks that [the city is] not acknowledging,” says Seivwright. “I think that is the most important part of all this.”
