Help build The Village to support people experiencing homelessness in Adelaide
There is a shortage of social housing for people experiencing homelessness in South Australia.
Tasting Australia presented by RAA Travel has teamed up with Forage Built and Hutt St Centre as the festival’s exclusive community partners.
Tasting Australia aims to raise awareness and vital funds at the 2021 & 2022 festival which will:
- Help Forage Built with the design and build of the first ‘pod’ in The Village - a safe, transportable home for people experiencing housing challenges in South Australia
- Provide Home Starter Packs for Hutt St Centre's Aspire Program Participants, when they are able to move into a home.
THE CALYX POD
Forage Built has developed a prototype of a pod, the Calyx 16. This is the first prototype for the single occupancy dwelling.
The concept of the Calyx – the protective layer around a flower bud – is to provide a safe, affordable, modular, transportable, energy efficient and eco-friendly 16 sqm home for people experiencing homelessness. Unlike other solutions, which include temporary use of motels and share houses, the Calyx offers a personal haven to store belongings, sleep safely and due to its clever and beautiful design, start to regain a sense of dignity and self-worth. Furthermore, due to its planned configuration on a site, people can start to safely connect with others to form community, access services and find their way back into permanent housing.
For more info on the pod visit: https://foragebuilt.com.au
THE VILLAGE
The Calyx 16 home is not designed to exist in isolation; they will be built in a community of pods, each separated by a veggie patch each occupant can call their own.
The Village of five pods will offer transitional accommodation until suitable, safe long-term housing can be secured. This transitional accommodation is a step on the pathway to homefulness which Hutt St Centre describes as; Having a place to live with a sense of security, stability, privacy, safety and the ability to control living space. Homefulness empowers a sense of independence and self-determination.
Residents at The Village will be participants in Hutt St Centre’s Aspire program. The Aspire program helps people with medium and long-term case management and assistance.
The lack of affordable and social housing supply has meant 45% of people engaging in Hutt St Centre’s Aspire program are not housed.
VISIT THE POD
Head to Tasting Australia's Town Square 29 April - 8 May 2022, Victoria Square / Tarntanyangga and check out the prototype of 'the pod'.
HOW YOUR SUPPORT HELPS
By making a generous tax-deductible donation you'll be:
- Helping Forage Built build a 16m2 pod - the first pod in The Village - that will be safe accommodation to help a person experiencing homeless rebuild their life.
- Providing Home Starter Packs for Hutt St Centre's Aspire program participants, to make a fresh start in a new home.

Hi, we really appreciate what you are doing, refreshing to see as the focus on housing. Hoping they are built with efficient passive methodologies, for real sustainability. Are you building directly or working with s prefabricator?

Such a great idea. I'd love to see these made available throughout SA to support people who are unable to access affordable or stable housing. A house is often the first step to better things including meaningful employment and a new sense of identity for many people who are vulnerable or socially excluded.
