In recent years, the tiny house movement has gained in popularity due to tiny homes' many social and environmental benefits; their small size, lower construction cost, easy maintenance, and portability make them a viable solution for various housing issues. The City of Greater Sudbury, located in northeastern Ontario, is experiencing an affordable housing crisis that tiny homes could help alleviate by providing an alternative affordable and attainable housing option. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation has determined, based on 2016 census data that 13% of Canadians are living in Core Housing Need and that 67% of this population fits the demographic of those living in tiny homes. In the City of Greater Sudbury 5,000 households are in Core Housing need and nearly 10,000 rental households are spending more than 30% of their gross household income on shelter costs. Despite the growing interest in tiny homes, there is a paucity of empirical data supporting their use as a form of housing. To address these gaps, the City of Greater Sudbury, Tiny Town Association (working to establish locations where people can live tiny) and Collège Boréal propose a collaboration that will study the benefits of the tiny home as a housing option in Northern Ontario. Over the next three years, the team will: 1) design and plan the construction of a tiny home prototype that is compliant with building codes and permits, 2) build the tiny home prototype, inspected, and approved by the City of Greater Sudbury, and 3) conduct a design evaluation of the tiny home prototype to gather real-world data on its effectiveness as a sustainable, affordable, and eco-responsible housing option.

近年来，小型住宅运动因其许多社会和环境效益而受到欢迎；其体积小、建造成本较低、易于维护和便携，使其成为解决各种住房问题的可行解决方案。位于安大略省东北部的萨德伯里正在经历经济适用房危机，加拿大抵押贷款和住房公司根据 2016 年人口普查数据确定，13% 的加拿大人居住在该地区，小型住宅可以通过提供替代的经济适用住房选择来帮助缓解。在核心住房需求，其中 67% 的人口符合居住在小房子里的人口结构。在大萨德伯里市，有 5,000 个家庭有核心住房需求，近 10,000 个出租家庭将其家庭总收入的 30% 以上用于住房。尽管人们对小型住宅的兴趣日益浓厚，但支持小型住宅作为一种住房形式使用的经验数据却很少。 为了解决这些差距，大萨德伯里市小型城镇协会（正在努力确定小型住宅的地点）。人们可以生活得很小）和 Collège Boréal 提出了一项合作，将研究小型住宅作为安大略省北部住房选择的好处。在未来三年内，该团队将：1）设计和规划小型住宅原型的建造。符合建筑规范和许可证，2) 建造小型住宅原型，并经大萨德伯里市检查和批准，以及 3) 对小型住宅原型进行设计评估，以收集有关其有效性的真实数据：一个可持续的、负担得起的、生态负责任的住房选择。
