OUR WHY
HOW TFH STARTED
Tiny Footprint Homes began as a dream to help a local community plagued by homelessness and unprecedented housing prices. Josh Batkin and Paul Arts started building tiny homes to add an alternative to the traditional real estate market. However, somewhere along the way, they realized they were part of a much larger movement – trying to provide solutions for some of the world’s current economic, environmental, and social challenges.
Together at TFH, we believe in making happier and healthier communities. Offering opportunities of living simply, by using less and doing more. With a shift away from materialism, you can downsize your space, without downgrading your lifestyle.
Located in Huron County, TFH is focused on sourcing local, sustainable products and materials whenever possible, keeping longevity and durability in mind. High-quality craftsmanship with attention to detail down to every last inch is the standard.
