Jean Lowell, 75, needed a more accessible house and her daughter needed an affordable one. After getting a grant and refinancing her home, she built a $130,000 backyard tiny home to live in. Her daughter moved into the main home and Lowell is able to age in place on her property in Vermont. The other purpose was to try to provide a place for my husband and I to live at our old age. I feel secure in my old age now in a way that I did not before.
