Think cruise ships are only for luxury travelers? A man in Portland, Maine is embarking on a feasibility study to convert an unused ship into temporary housing for low-income, immigrant and homeless people who need shelter.

The cruise ship could house up to 800, along with a crew of 300 to provide social services, support, job training and counseling.

If more cities do this, it could steer a lot of lives in the right direction.
