✨ Millions on the Line: Will Penticton Embrace the Tiny Home Village?

In this video, Jordan West breaks down one of Penticton’s biggest decisions in years — whether to approve a fully funded 50-unit Tiny Home Village for people experiencing homelessness… or risk losing millions of dollars and leaving dozens with nowhere to go. With a December 2nd deadline looming, this is a high-stakes moment that could shape the city for decades.

Jordan — a former BC Ambulance Paramedic turned entrepreneur — walks through the entire proposal: the funding, the conditions, the location, why residents are divided, what other cities like Kelowna have achieved with similar projects, and what realistically happens if Penticton says “no.”

👉 In this episode:

• What the 50-unit Tiny Home Village actually is — and who pays for it

• Why the project could vanish if council delays past December 2nd

• The provincial Heart & Hearth program and what “strings attached” really mean

• Why the chosen site sparked backlash — and what alternatives exist

• Safety, crime, and the concerns from nearby businesses

• How Kelowna’s model performed (and what Penticton can learn)

• Jordan’s detailed, honest take on what the city should do next

• What happens to the Fairview encampment if this moves forward

• The two-way door vs. one-way door decision Penticton now faces
