Tanya Benson is raising her children and launching a baking business out of her house - a property she doesn't own and isn't renting. She and her family of five are squatting in the abandoned house, just one of many in their Detroit neighborhood. The Benson family has invested a lot of energy and money into the house - a huge risk by any measure, as they have no legal claim to the property, and could be forcibly removed at any moment. But their story may end happily as perceptions about squatters and housing change in the city of Detroit.
Aurora, in the Village
From Rae Solomon | 17:12
Aurora has finally found a stable home, after 14 years, at the Beloved Community Village, a tiny home colony for people experiencing homelessness in Denver. But the village is on borrowed land and the entire community is forced to move to a new site, from the foundations, up.

The Beloved Community Village is a tiny home colony that provides housing for people experiencing homelessness in Denver. It's also a big experiment in housing, a pilot project. The organization behind Beloved Community Village wants to expand the project and build more tiny home villages around the city. But they need Beloved Community Village to succeed in order to prove the concept. Aurora is a 30-something woman who lives in this housing experiment. The tiny home is a lifeline for her, she living inside a pilot project puts her life on display in a way that's not always comfortable. Aurora's stress level increases as she anticipates the upcoming relocation of the entire village. How does literally moving from the foundations up affect the residents who are trying so hard to find stability?
