Saturation 

50% of homeless people who  call for public help don't get a place.  Emergency housing is saturated.

​

​

​

Safety

Homeless shelters are often stressful for social workers
and users. A lot of people refuse those structures,
which are not adapted.

​

​

Privacy

Homeless people are minimum two per room in shelters.
 They have the choice between being seperated or sleep  outside.

​

​

Flexibility

Emergency shelters are often far from where the
homeless people are living. Some people will refuse
shelters in fear of losing their friends and space.

It's much easier to sleep at night and wake up in the morning. This iglou is precious

This Iglou is perfect, absolutely perfect! Sometimes I am too warm I have to sleep with my jacket off

Not a single drop of rain inside! And I am warm.

As a software development engineer, I like to combine career, passions and commitment to a cause. I wanted to make use of my project management skills to offer a shelters to the homeless in winter

As a renewable energy engineer, I worked abroad on wind turbine construction sites as a quality manager for a couple of years. When I got back, I realized the critical homeless situation in France. This project is a way to use my technical knowledge to meet a social challenge
