When the first Villagers arrived to Sunderland Yard, it was the start of winter, and the beginning of a harsh season for the organization. Over the course of many years, and with the support of many friends and volunteers, we built the Village to its current form. What started as tarps and tents gradually changed to four-walled, permanent tiny house structures.
