The Fayetteville Woodpeckers and others are supporting the Big Tiny Project to provide tiny homes to homeless veterans. Here’s the plan.

Fayetteville’s homeless and at-risk veterans may soon find space to bridge the gap between the street and permanent housing.

The Fayetteville-based nonprofit, Off-Road Outreach, was gifted with three tiny homes after the owner of the Oasis of North Carolina Campground died in May.

The owner of the campground, former Carrboro mayor, Robert “Dr. Bob” Drakeford, was an Army veteran.

Drakeford’s family donated the homes to the local nonprofit founded by Stacey Buckner, because of its mission to help veterans, Buckner said.

“We are going to continue his legacy by renovating these and using them as transitional housing for our veterans,” Buckner said.

She began the nonprofit in 2015 to provide mobile showers, food and toiletries to Cumberland County’s homeless veterans through her specially equipped Jeep.
