Getting the homeless homed

We visit two projects offering new solutions to homelessness, from tiny-home communities to overnight accommodation in unused offices.

We visit two projects exploring practical responses to homelessness and housing insecurity. Presenter Myra Anubi travels to Edinburgh to see the work of Social Bite, a charity creating small communities of prefabricated homes on unused land, offering people a stable place to live and rebuild their lives. Meanwhile, in Nantes, western France, we meet the team behind Bureaux du C艙ur, which partners with businesses to open up unused office space as safe overnight accommodation for people in need.

People Fixing The World from the 麻豆社 is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems. We'd love you to let us know what you think and to hear about your own solutions.
