Tiny Tiny Homes Emergency Shelter Homeless Crisis Toronto Ryan

Tiny Tiny Home's Story

Tiny Tiny Homes is a non-profit and was founded by Ryan Donais, driven by a desire to create real change in response to the homelessness crisis. While witnessing the growing number of tent encampments in urban areas, he recognized the need for a safer and more dignified solution. From there, the concept of mobile, tiny homes on bicycles was born—offering a way to provide shelter, mobility, and hope to those in need.

Each emergency shelter is a compact, lightweight structure that offers protection from the elements while being easy to move. The idea is simple but powerful: empower individuals with a personal, mobile space that can help them regain stability in their lives.

Our Mission

Tiny Tiny Homes is dedicated to replacing unsafe tent encampments with mobile, sustainable shelters for those experiencing homelessness. We believe that every person deserves not only shelter but also dignity and the opportunity for a better future. Our shelters are designed to offer safety, flexibility, and hope while promoting community and sustainability.

Our Vision

Our ultimate goal is to build a society where nobody ever has to sleep outside in the elements again. If you want to help us get there, please reach out to us.
