A man is making tiny one metre by two metre homes on wheels to end rough sleeping after his brother become homeless.
Ryan Donals, 37, started building the portable small-scale properties in July 2024 - in a bid to provide a solution for local authorities.
The tiny homes take two months to build, are made from fiberglass reinforced plastic - feature a bed, desk, storage, a sink and camping toilet.
Ryan says he came up with the idea of building them after his brother became homeless five years ago - having struggled with addiction for 20 years.
He was also concerned at the levels of homelessness in his city - Toronto, Canada - and wanted to end the "tent towns" he saw across the area.
