Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP)

The SSI Program is a federally funded program which provides income support to eligible individuals who are aged 65 or older, blind or disabled. SSI benefits are also available to qualified blind or disabled children. The SSP Program is the state program which augments SSI. Both SSI and SSP benefits are administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Eligibility for both programs is determined by SSA using federal criteria. If an eligible individual qualifies for SSI, they qualify for SSP. The benefits are in the form of cash assistance. To apply for SSI/SSP, please visit your local Social Security office (find the nearest SSA office) or phone 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

Why do people not like tiny houses?

Some of it isn't so glamorous. Lofts, which are an important feature in tiny houses, can be cramped, hot, and hard to access. Appliances like stoves and bathroom sinks are considerably smaller than what many homeowners are used to.

insider.com - 26 disappointing photos that show the ugly truth of living in a tiny house

In 2017, the Woods started working with Alpine Tiny Homes in Utah. The couple said the company was supposed to build a $90,000 tiny house for them. Halfway through the build, however, Lindsay said the company went out of business, leaving them with an unfinished tiny house. Brian Hawkins, who ran the sales and marketing for Alpine Tiny Homes, said he understands how the situation could be upsetting. "The situation surrounding Lindsay Wood's home is definitely a difficult one, and I completely understand why she was upset about it. We all were," he told Insider in 2020. "My heart goes out to the Woods, and I wish them the best on their tiny house journey." When the Woods picked up the tiny house, they said there were some building mistakes. For example, Lindsay said the company used the wrong tires and axles, and the roof was poorly insulated. They said they spent an extra $40,000 fixing the builder's missteps. Their story points to the larger issues within the unregulated tiny house movement.
