Minneapolis opened a warehouse of 100 indoor tiny homes to keep the homeless out of the cold
In December 2020, housing advocates in Minneapolis opened Avivo Village, an indoor community of 100 secure, private tiny houses for people who are otherwise at risk of sleeping on the streets.
Inside the village, which is located in a warehouse, 100 individual units give people their own place to call home — and the freedom to come and go as they please.
Since opening, the shelter has supported over 800 people through temporary housing, placed 340 people in permanent housing, and has even reversed nearly 250 overdoses.
Why is this good news? Minnesota experiences some of the coldest temperatures in the United States every winter. People can suffer from hypothermia in any temperature below 35 degrees, so this harsh weather can be a death sentence for Minnesotans experiencing homelessness.
An offshore wind project targeted by the Trump administration is now online and sending energy to New England's grid
Rhode Island's first utility-scale offshore wind farm, Revolution Wind, has officially come online and started delivering power to the electric grid, despite repeated efforts by the Trump administration to shut it down.
The wind farm will supply electricity for more than 350,000 homes across Rhode Island and Connecticut, and is expected to save customers an estimated $500 million annually by displacing more expensive power.
The project is now 93% complete and is set to be fully operational before the end of this year.
Why is this good news?Officials say the project will provide the region with clean energy that will both help it meet its climate goals and offer an alternative power source to ease prices, especially in winter, and especially considering the current rising fuel costs due to the war in Iran.

A mobile maternity clinic is providing vital OB-GYN care in Florida's 'care deserts'
Only three of the 14 counties in north-central Florida provide full access to obstetric care. Six have low access to care — fewer than two hospitals offer obstetric care or birth centers per 10,000 births, and fewer than 60 obstetric providers. The remaining five are "care deserts," and around 3,400 women of childbearing age live there.
To address this gap in care, in February 2025, UF Health established the OB/GYN Mobile Outreach Clinic to provide free, comprehensive maternal health services, including prenatal and postpartum care, breastfeeding support, family planning, and more.
In its first year alone, the mobile clinic served nearly 200 women in four counties.
Why is this good news? Studies have shown that traveling longer distances for obstetric care is associated with worse infant and maternal health outcomes. Mobile clinics can be a critical solution for the two and a half million American women of childbearing age who live in a maternity care desert.
The analysis credits interventions like bike lanes, more electric cars, and restrictions on polluting vehicles for the improved air quality.
Beijing and Warsaw reduced fine particulate pollution by more than 40%, and Amsterdam and Rotterdam reduced nitrogen dioxide levels by more than 40%. In the U.S., San Francisco was the only city to cut both pollutants by more than 20%.
Why is this good news?Burning fossil fuels releases toxic, harmful particles that are a great hazard to human health, and have been linked to conditions like asthma, respiratory illness, and even cancer. This analysis proves that, no matter where in the world you are, "we have the tools to solve this crisis right now."
Two best friends used to be homeless, now they buy abandoned storage units to help people still on the streets
Shula Kitkowska and Louis Peralta became friends when they met in a local supportive housing program in Rhode Island. While they were neighbors, Kitkowska learned about Peralta's penchant for buying discounted storage units.
For 25 years, Peralta had picked through them for items he could sell at a high price to earn some money, and throw the rest away. Kitkowska, though, knew many of those discarded items could help people in need.
Why is this good news?Having experienced homelessness themselves, the duo is in a unique position to know what items are the most helpful and requested for people working to rebuild their lives. Not to mention, it allows perfectly good, usable items to meet a need for someone, rather than ending up in a landfill.
