12 Neighbours is a Canadian non-profit tiny house community in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Started in 2021 by multi-millionaire software engineer Marcel LeBrun, the community includes 96 tiny homes built between 2021 and 2024. LeBrun founded and funded the project, which was established as a means of combatting the homelessness and poverty crisis in the area.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] In early 2023, the project received $13 million in additional funding from the provincial and federal governments.[10]
