Micro-homes and sobercoins
The tiny houses helping homeless people to get off the streets plus the coins that reward people for being sober - with a drink.
A charity in the UK is building temporary wooden homes with just three small rooms.
The idea is to give people who鈥檝e been sleeping rough or living in hostels a step on to the housing ladder.
We visit some of these 鈥榤icro-homes鈥� in England and hear about a community of 鈥榯iny homes鈥� in Los Angeles.
Plus, we visit a project in Belgium that鈥檚 trying to persuade young people to drink alcohol in moderation.
They've created 鈥榮obercoins鈥� which party-goers are given if they turn up at events sober 鈥� which they can then use to buy alcoholic drinks.
