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.
"I wanted to build homes for the people who needed them most." — Daniel Jennings Sr.

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.

A builder with a mission: create housing that helps families escape domestic violence and rebuild with dignity.
Over the last two decades, Daniel Jennings Sr. has worked across construction, janitorial services, recycling, and real estate. 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.
