Supporters of HPCAV and Tiny Houses Community Development gathered Saturday morning, May 13, to dedicate a garden shed in memory of HPCAV’s much loved board member and active supporter, Linda Faircloth. The dedication was part of the celebration of the opening of this Tiny House community in High Point, designed to provide safe housing for some of our veterans and homeless neighbors.

Linda was a much-loved and respected realtor in High Point. She was a long time member of HPCAV, serving on our board and participating in call-ins, neighborhood responses and other programs. When Ed Kimsey started the Life Construction Program, Linda was one of the first clients to hire our team to do some work at her home.

Over 10 years later, it was a Life Construction Program team that built this garden shed in her honor, painting it in some of her favorite colors. We are grateful to Scott Jones, the Tiny Houses Executive Director, and the City of High Point for working with us to make this possible. And we are grateful to Linda’s family, husband John and daughters Tammy, Laura and Catherine, for sharing her with us for so many years.

The shed already houses garden tools and the beds are full of strawberries, tomatoes, peppers and squash, ready for the residents who live here and their neighbors.
