As a sculptor,Gregory Kloehn often felt his sculptures that stayed in one place for years on end,lacked a meaningful purpose. So he decided to channel his artistic energies into creating homes.
Over the years,he built lots of small houses,bars and restaurants from recycled shipping containers. But the thought of doing the same for the homeless never occurred to him. That idea hit in 2013 when a homeless couple in search of a tarp(防水布) ,knocked at his door. While Gregory did not have a tarp,he did have a small wooden structure complete with a water tank and built-in kitchen that he offered them. They were so grateful for his generosity that Gregory decided to build more for other people in similar situations.
Since starting the Homeless Homes Project in 2013,Gregory has donated ten homes to the most needy. The brightly colored houses that are the size of a regular sofa,are not fancy,but they do provide a safe place for the homeless to sleep in.
Gregory often goes hunting for raw materials by digging through dumpsters(垃圾箱) in an industrial area of Oakland. Everything he finds is usable — refrigerator doors become house doors,pizza delivery bags turn into insulators (隔热层) , while washing machine doors often serve as windows. Wheels at the bottom allow the homes to move around easily,while pitched roofs (斜屋顶) help make the shelters rain-proof. Gregory says that each mobile shelter which is built with a team of volunteers,costs between $30-$50 in screws,nails,glue,and the gas that he uses to search for materials.
Like any other project,Gregory has seen his fair share of challenges. The original house which inspired the whole movement was firebombed,while another was stolen. One homeless recipient (接受者) sold his home for $80,which has since been used as a dog house. But those incidents are few and far between. Most are thrilled with their houses. A woman named Wonder calls her new home,which is made from an unwanted picnic table,the best one she has had in five years.
