An innovative artist named Gregory Kloehn decided he wanted to build mobile houses made from recycled materials in order to benefit the city of Oakland’s homeless residents. He began going dumpster-diving for suitable construction supplies and then started designing and building non-traditional houses on wheels in order to provide impoverished individuals with creative solutions that were an enormous improvement over their vagabound shelters. Assisted by an ever-growing group of volunteers, this kind-hearted artist is helping to make the world a better place to be for those who lives are full of desolation and hardships.

Mobile homes like these can provide much improved living conditions for the city’s down-and-out residents.
“Each structure is unique and all homes are mobile so that they can accomodate the nomadic lifestyle of our homeless residents while avoiding the complexities of permanent structures.”
