The [canadian homelessness research network](http://www.homelesshub.ca/) (CHRN) estimates that 30,000 citizens are homeless every night, and at least 200,000 experience the condition in any given year. **this caused the toronto non-profit organization to take action, enlisting [IK studio](http://www.ikstudio.com) to produce a low-cost emergency shelter,** one that would transcend social stigma or public blight and provide a place for recreation when constructed in parks and playgrounds.
