Rhode Island's ECHO Village, a shelter for the homeless, will open by late February, four weeks ahead of schedule.

The 45 tiny cabins, managed by House of Hope, faced multiple delays due to construction and permit issues. The project aims to address the state's growing homelessness crisis, which lawmakers are also discussing in a joint hearing with a focus on improving emergency housing responses.
