Key takeaway Further details on this effort, known as Bureaux du Coeur, or "Offices of the Heart," are available from KVIA ABC-7.
In a unique approach to addressing homelessness, French companies are opening their offices to provide shelter for unhoused individuals. This initiative was inspired by the contrast between empty offices at night and people sleeping on the streets. The idea originated with a marketing agency owner who noticed a woman sleeping rough near his office.
He wondered why offices sat empty overnight while many people lacked a safe place to sleep. Further details on this effort, known as Bureaux du Coeur, or "Offices of the Heart," are available from KVIA ABC-7.
