Occupy Madison has an accepted offer to purchase Wiggie’s Bar at 1901 Aberg Ave. on Madison’s north side to build a tiny home village of 25 to 30 homes to house homeless people in Madison this winter, according to a Wisconsin State Journal report.
The organization plans to purchase the property and have housing ready by Christmas. The project is in response to the worry that shelters won’t have enough space for everyone when the weather turns colder. Occupy Madison is hoping to get about $425,000 in grant money from the county to support the project.
