Students Design a Temporary Shelter to Combat LA's Homelessness

There's a homelessness crisis in Los Angeles, with an estimated 50,000 people sleeping on the streets every night--a figure that's jumped 35% in the last year alone. Architecture students at the University of Southern California have worked with city officials and nonprofits to come up with Homes for Hope, a single-occupancy pod that can be built quickly and cheaply, and can help provide safe spaces for homeless people while more permanent solutions are in the works.
