Van Nuys tiny home village opens with 100 beds for homeless residents
Van Nuys will add 100 shelter beds Monday beside the Metrolink station, with 50 private tiny homes, meals, case management and a path to permanent housing.
A converted parking lot beside the Van Nuys Amtrak/Metrolink Station will start taking in residents Monday, June 29, as Hope the Mission opens a 50-unit tiny home village with 100 beds for people experiencing homelessness. The site sits at 7724 Van Nuys Boulevard and turns a transit-adjacent corner of the station area into interim housing with private sleeping units instead of dorm-style bunks.
Los Angeles city records approved $4,894,086 in Emergency Stabilization Beds funding for the project, and council file paperwork describes it as a 100-bed interim housing site. Hope the Mission says the village took 18 months to build and will give each of its 50 units two beds, heat, air conditioning, electrical outlets and shelves. Residents will move into a setup designed for privacy and speed, with full occupancy expected by the end of the week.
The new village was marked by a ribbon-cutting with Hope the Mission and Los Angeles City Councilmember Adrin Nazarian, who has called it the fourth tiny home village in Council District 2. Nazarian says the district’s shelter network also includes two A Bridge Home shelters, seven Permanent Supportive Housing sites and a Homeless Services Navigation Center, a sign that the Van Nuys opening is part of a larger local shelter stack rather than a standalone project.
Hope the Mission says the site will be pet-friendly and will add warm meals, three meals a day, showers, laundry, housing navigation, mental health referrals and case management. That mix puts the village squarely in the model many tiny-home shelter sites now follow, where the unit itself is only the first step and the real handoff is from the street to permanent housing.
The Van Nuys opening also lands in a corridor that has already seen major homelessness action. On July 31, 2025, officials cleared a long-standing encampment nearby, and NBC Los Angeles reported that more than 30 people accepted housing offers. With another Hope the Mission shelter already operating nearby, the Van Nuys area will effectively host a combined 300 people while they work toward permanent housing, making the station-adjacent village one of the clearest examples yet of Los Angeles clustering tiny-home shelter around existing transit and service corridors.
