VIDEO: Home for the homeless

(NBC) - Alexus Davila has the story of a group that is building small homes for the homeless around the country, they are in Roanoke and built a home for a local woman.

A group is looking to lift up those in need.

And that is just what is happening in Roanoke, Virginia where they are building homes for the homeless.

It may look like a small shed from the outside.

But inside lies a new opportunity to get one more person off the streets.

With windows, lights and solar panels installed, Brandon Brando designed an 8-feet by 4-feet shelter.

"We don't want them to feel like they have to keep moving. Or they are going to feel pushed off, pushed away or told to leave. We want them to feel like this is really home sweet home," says Brandon Brando.

"Brando thought of everything for this place. We are talking about insulation, a fan, even a coffee maker to make it a little bit more homey. And also locks on the door here to keep her belongings safe and sound," says Alexus Davila.

The home was created for Dawn.

A woman, Tiphaney Helm found on Williamson Road three months ago.

When Helm told Dawn about the surprise, she said Dawn could not hold back her excitement.

"She was just like, her eyes were big and she said 'for me! Is this for me?' She was so excited. She said 'well, how many days? And she started putting her hand up. 'Are you talking about five days? How many days? When are you going to have it ready for me?'" says Tiphaney Helm.

Helm says Roanoke can't keep pushing the homeless away.

Rather, they can invest in new solutions.

"When you care for others and people see that you care. I believe that you have no choice but to get a good response back," Tiphaney Helm states.

Brando and Helm plan to arrange a time to officially welcome Dawn to her new home.
