Broadview Federal Credit Union recently joined community leaders, elected officials and nonprofit partners to celebrate the groundbreaking of six new permanent supportive housing units in Syracuse. These “Tiny Homes” will provide individuals transitioning out of homelessness with a safe, stable place to live.

The development, led by A Tiny Home for Good will transform three vacant lots in the City of Syracuse into three duplex houses that will each include two approximately 500-square-foot homes. Each unit will include a private kitchen, bathroom and laundry, while front units will offer ADA accessibility to ensure greater inclusivity and independence.

For Broadview, the project represents more than the construction of new homes.

"Housing stability is foundational to overall well-being and financial stability," said Broadview Chief Community Officer Kathy Lanni. "These homes represent opportunity, dignity, and a fresh start for six individuals. We're proud to partner with organizations that are creating lasting solutions and strengthening the communities we serve."

Broadview has committed $100,000 in 2026, followed by annual support of $25,000 through 2030, helping fund both construction and the critical services that help residents remain successfully housed. The ongoing investment supports case management, community connections, and other resources that contribute to long-term stability.

The project came to life thanks to a collaborative effort that includes the City of Syracuse, Broadview, Onondaga County, the Morris Family Advised Fund, and other community partners.

Founded in Syracuse, A Tiny Home for Good provides permanent supportive housing for individuals who have experienced homelessness. The organization pairs high-quality housing with personalized support services, working to ensure tenants have secure housing and the tools and resources needed to maintain it.

“This groundbreaking is about six more people having a place of their own and the opportunity to move forward with the stability that comes from having a home,” said Andrew Lunetta, Founder and Executive Director of A Tiny Home for Good. “It is also an exciting reflection of how much our organization is growing to meet the need in this community. We are incredibly grateful for the partners who continue to believe in this work and make that growth possible.”

The impact of A Tiny Home for Good can be seen in stories like that of Syracuse resident Ronald Daniels, who spent seven years without permanent housing before moving into his Tiny Home.

"They give you a sense of security. They give you a home. It's a foundation," Daniels recently shared. "They make you feel like you're cared about."

Construction is expected to be completed in the coming months.
