Many patients receiving treatment at Abilene hospitals live outside the county, and traveling into town can be difficult. Houses for Healing’s “tiny houses” provide a place to stay.

Construction continues on the tiny house community near Hendrick Health System in Abilene.
From KACU:
A new housing project in Abilene aims to help patients receiving regular outpatient treatments who live too far away to drive back and forth from home to the hospital. The non-profit building the community on Hickory Street, just north of Hendrick Health System, offers extended stays in tiny houses to patients free-of-charge.
We took a tour of Houses for Healing’s first cottage, which may serve as a model for communities around Texas and the nation.
