145 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JANUARY 2021 part because California has been ravaged by fires in the last few years creating a loss of more than 15,000 homes just this year. Currently, they are manufacturing one tiny home a month and have a waitlist until this summer, but they hope to ramp that up to more than 17 custom tiny homes a year. The challenges Mendoza and her Forever Tiny Homes crew are facing stem from their passion for customization. Building everything to order and with love. And that takes time and a lot of knowledge. Although Mendoza is a hands-on jack- of-all-trades in the business, she can’t do it alone and with a booming construction industry tasked with rebuilding after the fires, finding dedicated employees to work in their facility is proving even more difficult in recent times.
