Say Yes to Affordable Housing That Actually Works
Neighbors helping neighbors build real solutions. The Y.E.A.H. Movement is a grassroots effort to create safe, affordable housing options for Mount Shasta families... Tiny Homes on Wheels, accessory dwellings, and land we control together.
Join the movement. Get updates on land acquisition, development progress, and monthly community dinners where we connect with local leaders and make things happen.
What is Y.E.A.H.?
Y.E.A.H. stands for Say Yes to Expedite Affordable Housing. We're Mount Shasta residents who believe our community deserves real solutions. Not someday, but now.
We listen to neighbors, work with city leaders, and take action to secure land and create housing options that actually fit our town: Tiny Homes on Wheels, accessory dwellings, and community-led development that keeps families here.
what's next?
Taking Action Together
Join us for dinner, updates, and real talk about what's next.
We're moving into our next phase: securing land and building housing options that work for Mount Shasta families. At these monthly community dinners, you'll hear progress updates, meet local leaders (we invite the Mayor and Council members), and help shape what we're building together.
Plus: We're building a list of people who want Tiny Homes on Wheels or other affordable options — so if that's you, this is where you get plugged in.
Reserve your spot so we can make enough food, and you save a few bucks, too. (gluten-free and dairy-free options available.)
Meet The Founders
Meet Afa
I grew up on the North Shore of Oahu learning that 'ohana (family) means nobody gets left behind. I played football at the University of Utah, won bowl games, and thought I had life figured out. Then life happened—businesses built, marriages ended, kids I don't get to see nearly as often as I'd like, and eventually finding home in Mount Shasta.
When I met Aurea in 2024, we both saw the same thing: families being forced out of our community because they couldn't afford to stay. Good people working hard, priced out of dignity. We decided to do something about it.
The YEAH Movement is about showing up for our neighbors the way my community showed up for me growing up. We don't wait for permission or perfect conditions—we organize, we mobilize, and we make things happen. In 9 months, we've helped passed ordinances, secured land, and proven that when community comes together, real change is possible.
You might have seen me singing at Headwaters or building ahu at the Peace Garden. That's the same spirit we bring to this work: respect, connection, and refusing to accept that families should have to choose between survival and dignity.
Meet Aurea
I know what it's like to rebuild from nothing... twice. After escaping domestic violence as a single mom with two young kids, I've lived the reality of housing instability with kids: hotels, temporary rooms, listings that weren't what they seemed - always one crisis away from having nowhere to go.
After a few years navigating these same city issues in Siskiyou County, I met Afa. We saw the same housing crisis playing out for families all around us. Good people, working hard, priced out of dignity. We knew we had to do something—not someday, but now.
The YEAH Movement started because we refuse to accept that safe, affordable housing is some impossible dream. We've already helped pass the Tiny Houses On Wheels Ordinance, secured donated land for development, and mobilized record numbers of community members to show up at City Council meetings. We're building real solutions with real people—neighbor helping neighbor.
Housing isn't just about walls and roofs. It's about stability, dignity, and the freedom to pursue your purpose without constantly fighting to survive. That's what drives this work. Every family deserves that foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Y.E.A.H. political?
No. We are nonpartisan neighbors focused on practical solutions.
Is Y.E.A.H. a nonprofit?
Right now we are just community members and entrepreneurs who are moving towards establishing a nonprofit for this work. To do this correctly along with juggling all of our responsibilities in life, work and advocacy, we are working to gather the funds to have our paperwork done correctly by a professional. We will make an announcement as soon as this goal is reached.
How do I get a sign?
Pick one up at [Mayor’s Business Name + Address], or download and print the PDF here.
What are you proposing right now?
A clear local pathway for safe, code‑compliant villages for Tiny Houses on Wheels, along with other flexible options that fit Mount Shasta.
How can I get a free Tiny Home?
As our name states, we are pushing for options to help create affordable housing options for our community. We do not have free homes available to hand out. As the movement grows, and our network expands, there may be options to connect with grants or other programs that can dramatically reduce housing costs. You can also call 211 to connect with your local assistance programs.
