Portland nonprofit's innovative plastic tents to be distributed to homeless people

Homer Williams with Harbor of Hope is on a mission to help the homeless find a path back to housing. The nonprofit addresses the basic needs of the homeless population in Portland and surrounding communities. Last year they handed out thousands of tents and sleeping bags. But all the rain Portland gets was a problem for their clients. "All their clothes get soaked, their sleeping bags get soaked, their feet rot," explained Williams. "So I just thought they needed to be a better solution." Williams teamed up with LIT workshop to come up with a solution and came up with rigid tents made out of corrugated plastic. They are warmer, waterproof and sturdier than regular tents. The inventors went around Portland with the tents and asked homeless people what they thought. They used that feedback to perfect the tent. Story: https://www.kgw.com/article/news/comm...
