Gregory Kloehn isn’t homeless. In fact, he is an artist from Oakland that is trying to help the homeless and develop his craft at the same time. Instead of building sculptures that he would sell to rich people to add to their massive homes, he decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in California. Gregory digs through illegally dumped trash and goes dumpster diving…
He uses what he collects to build small, one room shelters for the homeless.
And his homelessness project is getting attention.
Not only from the media, but from the people he helps as well.
The “little homeless homes” are about the size of the sofa.
But, something that small can mean the world to someone living on the streets.
Each of the homes are built with a pitched roof, so rain will run right off of them.
They also have wheels, so their owners will be able to wheel them around if they need to.
The foundation he usually uses are discarded wooden pallets.
At first, as an artist, he made sculptures. Now he makes homes for those in need.

Reblogged this on Pippakin Around the World and commented:
I have been a fan of tiny homes for some time in that time interest in them has grown enormously for they offer the opportunity of affordable homes and possibly living off the grid a huge saving if it can be done which is not always the case. I read that in some arreas you need permission to do that (absurd!) and that brings me to this wonderful idea. Gregory Kloehn a sculptor is taking some time out of his art and instead is building small sleep easy one room homes for the homeless. These tiny, tiny homes offer warmth, relative comfort and security, relative that is to sleeping on the street at the mercy of the weather and who knows what else, these homes have no electricity or water but they have a door that can be closed offering a degree of privacy the homeless are usually denied and within them some might find their way again. I think Its a great idea.
