Compact dwelling for the homeless
I am also considering a sponsorship program in which benefactors would pay $500 per Homeless Chateau, to cover materials and fabrication costs. Others would donate transportation of the Chateaux and donate spaces in which homeless people could live in the shelters.
Plywood Chateaux can also be easily "cloned" at remote locations, i.e. I don't have to make them, and they don't have to be transported from Beacon, NY. The materials are basic, standardized and readily available almost anywhere.
I would encourage other people around the country to build Homeless Chateaux and urge their local municipalities and landlords with appropriate vacant spaces to donate those spaces for homeless individuals to live in the Chateaux.
