Building tiny homes for families escaping domestic violence.
Tiny Homes Big Purpose exists to create safe, dignified housing for women, children, and families leaving abusive situations—so they can rebuild with stability, privacy, and hope.
Safety note: If you're in immediate danger, call your local emergency number. This page is primarily for partners (shelters, churches, cities, nonprofits) building survivor-centered housing.
Safe, Supportive, and Dignified Transitional Housing for Women and Children Escaping Domestic Violence
Through the creation of sustainable, thoughtfully designed tiny homes, we offer a stable foundation where families can heal, rebuild their lives, and regain independence.
We are dedicated to fostering empowerment, community, and hope—one tiny home at a time.
Beyond a Shelter. A Real Home.
Domestic violence survivors often face a choice: stay in danger or stay in a crowded shelter. Tiny Homes Big Purpose offers a third way: A private, dignified home where a mother and her children can lock the door and feel safe for the first time.
How the Initiative Works
The "Donation" Model
Proceeds from Tiny Cottage Concept LLC sales are used to fund the construction of homes specifically for donation to DV survivors.
Strategic Placement
We partner with churches, cities, and nonprofits to place these units on safe land near essential support services.
Direct Impact
Families move into a fully-equipped, energy-efficient home where they can focus on recovery and rebuilding.
Tiny Homes Big Purpose
A survivor-centered housing initiative using tiny homes as real solutions for domestic violence transitional housing, family stability, and community rebuilding.
Our primary focus is housing that helps families escape domestic violence—fast. Tiny homes can provide private, lockable, self-contained shelter that protects women and children while they recover, access services, and rebuild their lives.
We also support affordable homeownership and emergency housing when communities are displaced, but our mission stays clear: safety first for families leaving abusive environments.
Programs built for safety, privacy, and stability.
These homes are designed for real-life recovery: survivors of domestic violence, women and children needing privacy, and partners building long-term housing solutions.

Meet Daniel Jennings Sr.
A builder with a mission: create housing that helps families escape domestic violence and rebuild with dignity.

After seeing the gap in affordable housing widen, he created Tiny Cottage Concept LLC—and expanded the mission into Tiny Homes Big Purpose to focus on safe housing for families in crisis.
