Tiny House Big Movement

What Tiny House Big Movement does

Tiny House Big Movement (THBM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2021 in Concord, North Carolina, and operating under the parent holding company HaZi Enterprises Inc. THBM develops tiny home communities in the Carolinas — most notably a planned ~12-home subdivision adjacent to downtown Concord in partnership with We Build Concord — and operates a portfolio of educational and community-engagement products including the annual Carolina Tiny House Festival, the Blueprint to Tiny Living workshop, the THBM Learning Vault video platform, a Tiny Resources Hub vendor directory, and a Tiny House Giveaway raffle conducted with Offsitek. The organization explicitly serves working professionals, new and growing families, remote workers, empty nesters, foster-care youth aging out, veterans, 55+ seniors, and the unhoused, with a stated emphasis on non-toxic, sustainable building materials and community-oriented "pocket community" design. Revenue is generated through tax-deductible individual donations, four corporate sponsorship tiers ($250–$2,500), event and workshop ticket sales ($30–$40), the $9.95 one-time / $69.95 annual Learning Vault subscription, raffle entries, and fee-based speaking and consulting engagements for municipalities and corporations. Go-to-market is community- and event-led, anchored by the 2023 Concord Development Ordinance amendment (which THBM actively drove) permitting tiny homes in the city, and reinforced by a regional partnership network spanning builders, a preferred realtor, healthcare workforce-housing conversations, and venue partners in Concord, Charlotte, and Fort Mill. The organization operates with 1–10 employees; its founder and Executive Director, Kimberly DeLaney, passed away on January 26, 2026, and operations continue under the Board of Directors and the Kimberly Starr Delaney Legacy Fund.
