Check out this interesting mobile homeless shelter…

Design enthusiast, paul elkins, develops mobile units, and other small scale vehicles.
He previously designed the burning man bicycle camper and his latest development
is a mobile homeless shelter which he designed as part of a competition asking individuals
to meet the demands of the rapidly growing homeless society - a kind of substitute for the
grocery cart situation. Elkins wanted his design construction to be a simple, lightweight,
watertight insulated box on wheels, built with an area for displaying and selling handmade wares.

 

(Photo right) toilet seat storage and bucket. the mid section of the floor is movable which allows for ample room for use of the bucket.

(Photo Left) the shelter includes a sleeping / resting area, a kitchen and makeshift washroom

 I want to let the viewer know that this interesting mobile homeless shelter is being sold for profit.

I’m only sharing it because I find it fascinating, and not because I’m promoting it for the company involved.
