51 Homeless Innovations

From Heat Maps to Guerilla Advertising

It is an unfortunate truth that some people don't have a place to live, but that doesn't mean this lifestyle hasn't inspired some pretty rad homeless innovations for a while now.

Sometimes we walk right on by, but sometimes we pay attention. These haute homeless innovations are prime examples of how some people did pay attention and came up with something awesome.

Whether it be a robot buddy for the homeless or some sensible awareness advertising, these homeless innovations are a shelter of creativity.
