Marcel LeBrun, a millionaire based in eastern Canada, has gone viral for his heroic effort of building 99 “tiny homes” to help the fight against homelessness.
It’s believed the multi-millionaire sold his company for an eight figure sum, and decided to put $4 million of that money to good use.
The town of Fredericton in New Brunswick has at least 1,800 people who found themselves homeless for at least one day in 2022 according to the CBC.

LeBrun has invested big bucks in developing what he calls the ’12 Neighbours’ gated community, which will ultimately consist of 99 tiny homes for people looking to get back on their feet.

But in the fight against homelessness, the most important thing is putting a roof over someones head and ensuring their safe and warm.

Government backs homelessness cause
After about 70 of the 99 tiny homes were built, the 12 Neighbours community secured an extra $12 million in government grants to help get them over the line.
Speaking to CBC, LeBrun explained why he was doing this:
