Employees of Renewal by Andersen are spending Thanksgiving week, helping those in need.

Workers have spent the past two days, building a tiny home in the Kiwanis Family Village.

It's the fifth tiny home at Community Shelter Services.

While the main shelter separates men from women and children, the 12-by-16 foot homes allow families to stay together.

"When you talk about the need, we are seeing more and more younger people and younger families that are out on the street right now," said Community Shelter Services Executive Director Diane Lazette. "The last family that we just put in, was out on the street for over a week, so it was just great to be able to put that roof over their head."

According to Lazette, the temporary homes are needed now more than ever.

"I'm sad to report that we are full every night," said Lazette. "When the phone rings, someone, an individual or a family looking for a place and we're full this winter. We'll probably end up putting cots in the hallways and any open space just to get people out of the cold."
