Editor's Notes
It’s in Boulder’s DNA to support a tent city for the ‘commoner’. The wonderful Chautauqua neighborhood Is where these tents and tiny homes were at the turn of the century.
This is my vision as an architect of what an intentional, cooperative New Chautauqua Community may look like, in this case housed on the abandoned Boulder Community Hospital site between Broadway and 9th Street.
This is my initial submittal to the City Planning Department for a New Chautauqua Community on the now vacant Valmont Park land south of Valmont Road, just south of the bike park and airport. The site was recommended by the Chair of the Boulder Planning Board. It has been rejected by the City Planning Department.
This is a revised schematic proposal for locating the Community at the south end of Valmont Park in an area on the Park Master Plan called “Turf / Flex”. It would also include the use of the current Parks and Open Space maintenance buildings, scheduled in the Master Plan to become used as a community facility. The brown spots are anticipated ball fields overlaid on a Google Earth image, looking northeast from Pearl Parkway. The yurt looking building would serve as a community center.
Nickelsville is a Seattle encampment.
We are hoping to train folks to build tiny homes with the help of CCI.
This is a survey sheet filled out by guests to First Congregational Church’s Soup Kitchen.
The certificate from the Home Builder’s Institute was earned by Patris, a skilled refugee from South Sudan now living at the Bridge House’s Ready to Work home and training center. As we establish the first New Chautauqua Community, it’s hoped that he’ll still be in Boulder for him to be one of the first occupants, helping to build out the community.
Nate Williams, a soulful Boulder builder would like to repurpose an RTD bus into a mobile homeless shelter.
Code for Boulder is helping to create an app that will be used by folks who are homeless to use our community’s current stock of bathrooms for their use, in a homesharing program similar to Airbnb.
Much work is to be done to to educate community leaders about the urgency of this effort. Between 15 and 25 folks who were homeless die each year in Boulder due to causes related to their homelessness.
A quick video outlining the enthusiasm for a tiny home eco-village.
