In Germany, there were an estimated 860,000 homeless people in 2016 according to BAG W (Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Wohnungslosenhilfe e.V —Federal Association of Homeless Aid). This is no small number and is indicative of a big problem.
One company is trying to make a difference for homeless people by introducing a windproof and waterproof futuristic sleeping pod that the homeless can freely access. The company is called Ulmer Nest and it is located in the city of Ulm, 75 miles (120 km) west of Munich.
The pods were introduced on January 8, 2020 and if they prove useful and successful, they could be rolled out nationwide. Wouldn’t that be neat?
