bench shelters
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/canada/10926855/Antidote-to-anti-homeless-spikes-instant-bench-shelters.htmlDesigned by Vancouver company Spring Advertising, these benches fold out to create an instant emergency shelter for rough sleepers... A handful of the benches were constructed in Vancouver last year to raise awareness of homelessness in the city. When the top is flipped up, the phone number and address for local housing organisation RainCity is displayed – to encourage rough sleepers to seek help and find shelter.
