SPACEYURT PANEL TENT

ABOUT LA LAUNCHPAD

The LA Launchpad is a harm reduction project that provides SpaceYurt alternative tents to homeless residents of LA county. The SpaceYurt is a widely used, open-source technology that can be constructed quickly by volunteers or professionals.

We have provided six SpaceYurt alternative tents to fairly self-sufficient homeless people in LA County to see if they find the shelters better than tents. Possible future harm reduction measures may include: 1) providing locking tool chests to protect the residents’ valuables, 2) a volunteer-based postal service, both on a small scale similar to our initial efforts.

We will do more as resources permit. Please contact us if you would like to assist: hexayurt@gmail.com

 

 

 

OUR SERVICES

We have provided six spaceyurt alternative tents to some fairly self-sufficient homeless people in LA County to see if they find the shelters better than tents. The basic design is widely used, open source technology, and can be constructed either by volunteers or professional builders.

We are going to try a few more small practical harm reduction measures, like providing locking tool chests (small steel boxes used on construction sites) for people’s valuables, and arranging a volunteer-based postal service in future, both on a similar scale to our initial efforts.

We will do more as resources permit. Please contact us if you would like to assist: hexayurt@gmail.com
