Standardized Homeless Fold Up Mobile Houses

Not a solution at all, just a few percentage points better than the current situation.

A standardized fold up, coroplast home that can be easily folded up onto a hand truck with wheels. These would be handed out to homeless people living in tents that would have features the tents don't.

- Some measure of insulation
- Storage areas made of stretchy cloth on the walls
- Some padding on the floor
- Could be mirrored to reflect sunlight reducing interior temp.

The kind of radical idea is to leave things as they are while somebody tries to solve the problem, but just to make it a tiny bit better right now.

See link for coroplast tiny houses. This idea is to make them specifically for homeless people having them attached to a hand cart for easy transport, doing the job that a fold up tent does being easily movable.

Does it solve the problem? Of course not, but better to have a homeless camp made up of these than a bunch of cardboard boxes, tents and scraps of wood.
