VERY clever and DIY too. I really don't know why any homeless would prefer rough living to setting themselves up with such a rig.

This material and method of constructing shelters could be used to create 'huts' that would serve as places to live for people while they construct more permanent buildings. One could pre-fab a 'tiny' house and then assemble it on a site in short order. It also could be moved if no longer used or disassembled for storage/later use.
The one improvement that I would add would be to place a nylon mesh type netting under the 'floor' material so that it wouldn't break down over time. It turns out that the coroplast material could be glue/laminated for additional strength.
Another thought is to make dog shelters from this as well. The little 'igloo' type pet houses are not cheap and making use of (free?) recycled campaign signs would be an excellent alternative for money strapped rescues.

The core question remains 'ownership' (of land where one stands/sits/sleeps). I am NOT an advocate of common-ism, but I also think that there is a LOT of misunderstanding and gray area to human related concepts such as ownership. Its undeniable that a human 'is' and subsequently will 'be' some where at all times! How that person respects his/her own life AND how others respect other lives is a very telling reflection of mankind in general.
What makes this topic difficult for me is wondering why those that are 'homeless' don't DO for themselves what its apparent that others can and have done for them? I've long thought that a bike with a 'trailer' would be the way to go for anyone 'homeless'. But it seems that there is more to this issue than simply if a person has 'shelter'. That problem is what is not being faced and dealt with.
