LeBrun set up a factory where trained volunteers assemble homes using cutting-edge manufacturing methods. The building process, which results in one tiny home being completed every four business days, creates fully furnished living spaces. These homes are then carefully positioned on concrete blocks, establishing the foundation for the 12 Neighbours community.

In addition to providing housing, 12 Neighbours also emphasizes job creation by establishing an enterprise center within the community. Residents operate a coffee bar and a silk printing business, which not only generate income but also encourage interaction between the residents and the wider community.

Despite its well-meaning goals, 12 Neighbours has been met with criticism, with some calling for the immediate reintegration of homeless individuals into society. LeBrun recognizes these concerns and stresses the importance of tackling the specific challenges faced by those who have experienced homelessness.
