5.Greg Kloehn,an artist in Oakland,California is using his skills to help the homeless.He builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable.The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather.Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20tiny houses.Several are on the roadside near an active railroad.On a recent day,Mr.Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young.The two men hug.Inside his little shelter Mr.Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets.Mr.Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea,another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built.She says it keeps her safe and protects her possessions.
In the mornings,Mr.Kloehn searches the streets for building materials.He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio.There,he puts the houses together.Empty coffee bags become roof material.A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows.Nails,screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together.The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house.The device is powered by the sun.
Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own.But some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man.
