Tiny Home Industry Association
The Tiny Home Industry Association (THIA) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization on a mission to advocate for regulation changes, develop industry best practices and construction standards, AND increase widespread use of tiny homes as permissible and permanent housing.
About THIA
Launched in 2016 as a trade organization, Tiny Home Industry Association initially received support funding provided by the Colorado Blueprint 2.0 Initiatives, in coordination with the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, and under the leadership of former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper.
