*[Enwl-eng] Sleeping pods provide safety, warmth, and temporary home for unhoused people

[ENWL]

                        Pet space, safety systems, and social worker check-ins make pods a great program.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Unhoused People Deserve Safety and Dignity! These Sleeping Pods Could Help.

                        As winter cold rips through most of the northern hemisphere, one chilly city in Germany has adopted a more humane approach to caring for unhoused people. Ulm has implemented sleeping pods for people who do not have overnight shelter and housing, giving them warmth and protection from brutal weather. One of the best parts of Ulm's approach is that, when a pod is activated, a social worker is notified and comes to check in on the person's safety in the morning. This approach — of supporting unhoused populations with care and social support, rather than criminalization — is not only more compassionate, it also works!



                        These wonderful protective pods in Ulm have each been fitted with safety systems to measure carbon dioxide and temperature, as well as ventilation systems, lighting, solar panels, and more. They even have enough room to store each person's belongings and include space for a pet! One of the many American cities that could benefit from this model is Salt Lake City, Utah, which has a large number of unhoused people — as well as a history of treating them inhumanely. Even in the midst of a pandemic, police have been witnessed violently destroying encampments throughout the city. But the example of Ulm shows there is another way. Sign the petition to convince authorities in Salt Lake City to implement a program similar to that in Ulm!
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        P.S. Rather than criminalizing people for poverty, Salt Lake City, Utah should take a compassionate, helpful approach and implement a program like that in Ulm, Germany. Sign the petition.
