Mobile shelter for homeless, EDAR, invented by LA non-profit

With the homeless crisis came a call to action, an invention by a local non-profit. The Man/Kind Initiative created the EDAR, a mobile shelter for transients. It's the latest in their works of compassion. 

EDAR (pronounced ee-dar) stands for "everyone deserves a roof." It's like a portable pop-up tent. An EDAR costs about $800 to make. There are about 300 placed across the U.S. 

Man/Kind Initiative co-founder Richard Stellar says they are placed near services for the homeless. Stellar says the EDAR is not the solution to the homeless crisis but it is "a" solution. 

SUGGESTED: 

The Man/Kind Initiative is trying to raise a million dollars to EDAR house and feed one thousand people. The music behind their fundraising video is Paul McCartney lending a 1970's song from his first solo album titled Junk and honoring memories. Stellar says one unhoused man told him "memories are all I have."
