(LEX 18) The public is invited to bid on Tiny Houses designed and constructed by students in eastern Kentucky school districts. 

The Building it Forward project is sponsored by the Kentucky Valley Educational Cooperative. The project hopes to help students interested in learning skills for a real-world vocation. The project is designed to be on-going and sustainable each year. The completed homes are auctioned and the money will be re-invested to complete a new Tiny House each year.

All houses will be on display for the public starting on June 8 at 412 Roy Campbell Drive in Hazard. 

The auction end date is June 20. Buyers will have 15 days to pick up their homes after that.
