No one wants to be homeless; it is a choice that does not come easily to most. But if you are going to be homeless, the Paul Elkins shelter ensures that you don't have to be shelter-less.
Sure, it is 225lbs, but it is on wheels and features a sleeping area, kitchen, makeshift bathroom and can go where you go. Granted, it is not that big, but I don't think that matters when the Paul Elkins shelter will protect you from a downpour.
