Making it better for homeless
Posted by Jeremy under: Canada; US; Vancouver .
I was reading www.reveries.com’s cool-news newsletter this morning and they had an interesting article about dealing with the plight of the homeless in the US.
Essentially they treated the homeless like a market segment and conducted research to determine what it is that homeless people want. It turns out that in most cases they are just looking for a room to live in. See the article for much more detailed information, stats, and how effective the program has been in some major American cities.
