Now, homelessness is just a little more convenient – thanks to designers Barry Sheehan and Gregor Timlin. They’ve teamed up to create a snazzy little cart for people they like to call, “junk collectors.” Here in Philly, they’re better known as bums, but “junk collector” is a little friendlier and more politically correct, I suppose.

Anyhow, the idea of the cart is to provide a mobile living unit and serve as a receptacle for a junk collector’s ever-growing collection. Originally designed for Designboom's non-profit “Shelter In A Cart” competition, it was supposed to promote social awareness.

The cart definitely won’t solve the problem of homelessness, but maybe it’ll help “junk collectors” bare the brunt of searching for a place refuge. The only question is, where do you put your junk collection, when its bedtime?

Wow, people are always thinking of something new. I mean really a mobile home for homeless people. Its pretty retro though, the whole idea of "junk collectors" , the mobility and versality of the cart. It really takes homelessness to a next level. Upgrade!
