Robyn Davis & Andrea Montano, Roof Over My Heart, a CA Nonprofit

West Sacramento has implemented a new approach to housing by legalizing movable tiny homes as permanent residences - the first jurisdiction in the SACOG region to do so! This policy innovation provides a method for addressing our complex regional housing shortages.

Our organization, Roof Over My Heart, advocates for expanding and protecting homeownership pathways. We're sharing how tiny home policies can deliver rapid and cost-effective housing solutions with bipartisan appeal across urban, suburban, and rural communities throughout the six-county regional area.

Dan Fitzpatrick, President, Tiny Home Industry Association

“Learn how to work with your local government officials in siting your Tiny Home. Become familiar with your city’s procedures for placing a tiny home or movable tiny home in one's backyard as an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Understand the costs associated with buying and placing your tiny home and, for investors, learn about the potential for "return on investment" of a rental tiny house in your backyard.

Dan Fitzpatrick is the President of the American Tiny House Association. In his 45 years as a local government official and private real estate developer/investor, Mr. Fitzpatrick can assist you with understanding the ins and outs of legally placing your tiny house.”
