Germany tests sleep pods as shelter for homeless
A German city has created sleep pods for the homeless
Location: Ulm, Germany
The ‘Ulm nest’ with a solar panel on its roof to power lights
is big enough to fit one person
(SOUNDBITE) (German) "CARITAS" CHARITY WORKER, NORMAN KUROCK, SAYING:"The nest unlocks itself automatically in the evening which means that someone who needs a place to sleep can simply open the door and find a safe place overnight. It protects against the cold but also against attacks."
