Innovative Shelters Offer Life-Saving Warmth for the Homeless

A Czech organization has developed an innovative emergency shelter called the Iglou to help unsheltered people survive freezing temperatures. The lightweight, igloo-shaped structure is made from special heat-trapping materials that keep the interior up to 18 degrees warmer than the outside. It is also designed to be fire-resistant, ensuring safety for those inside. Social workers in cities like Prachatice distribute Iglous to individuals actively engaging with support programs.

Over 1,200 units have been provided across Europe and Canada to help those facing harsh winter conditions. While the ultimate solution is stable housing, the Iglou serves as a temporary measure to prevent hypothermia deaths. Its creators emphasize that, while not a long-term fix, it offers critical protection for those sleeping rough in freezing temperatures.
