Marcel LeBrun is canadian millionaire, Who has built 99 'tiny homes' to reduce homelessness in his town. Millionaire from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Builds 99 Tiny Homes to Combat Homelessness and Provide Jobs.

Controversy and Criticism Like any ambitious project, 12 Neighbours has faced its fair share of criticism. Some argue that it is better to reintegrate homeless individuals directly into society instead of sequestering them together. However, LeBrun acknowledges the potential challenges involved and has taken measures to ensure the security and well-being of the community."It's just as hard to go build four homes, in terms of all the hoops you have to run through, as it is to build 10 or 20, and we wanted to make a dent in the challenge that we have here in Fredericton.… If we want to actually make a meaningful difference, we have to build some houses," LeBrun said of his approach versus a decentralized approach. "Let's say I take someone who's been living outside, and say, 'OK, I'm going to put you in 10-years-free rent in the highest end apartment in the city.' Are they going to succeed? That is not their community. That is not the context they're used to living in,"
