An artist in Oakland, California is using his skills to help the homeless. Greg Kohen builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.
Greg Kohen has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr. Kohen stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter, Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. "Well, it is better than living on the ground. If it were not for Greg, I would be still on the ground." Mr. Kohen also visits another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.
In the morning, Mr. Kohen searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. Mr. Kohen says his work is not a social project. He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors.

### 文章部分
加利福尼亚州奥克兰市的一位艺术家正在用他的技艺帮助无家可归者。格雷格·科恩（Greg Kohen）建造了非常小的庇护所，让街头生活稍微舒适一些。这些建筑为无家可归者提供了一些安全保障，使其免受恶劣天气的影响。每个小房子的底部还有轮子，所以它可以随着主人去任何地方。
格雷格·科恩已经赠送了至少20座小房子。有几座在一条繁忙铁路附近的路边。最近的一天，科恩先生在其中一座小房子前停下来，看望奥斯卡·杨（Oscar Young）。两人拥抱了一下。在他的小庇护所里，杨先生从街头寒冷的夜晚中得到了解脱。“嗯，这比睡在地上好多了。如果不是格雷格，我还会睡在地上。”科恩先生还去看望了另一位朋友，她也住在这位艺术家建造的一座小房子里。她说，这所小房子能保证她的安全，还能保护她的财物。
早上，科恩先生在街上寻找建筑材料。他收集能找到的东西，然后把它们带到他的工作室。在那里，他把这些房子组装起来。空咖啡袋变成了屋顶材料。洗衣机门和冰箱部件变成了窗户。钉子、螺丝和粘性胶水把所有的部件固定在一起。科恩先生说他的工作不是一个社会项目。他说他只是一个用自己的技艺帮助无家可归的邻居的人。
