Homes can be made from all kinds of materials, from straw, to wood, to brick. But impoverished people can't afford anything fancy like that and they have to make do with improvised shelters made from discarded materials. While longstanding homeless encampments and shantytowns may have simple huts made from discarded building materials and tarps, the simplest improvised shelter is a large, sturdy cardboard box. A discarded appliance box provides shelter from rain, snow, and wind and a little insulation against the cold. The person is often depicted setting up the box in an alley in The City Narrows or under a highway bridge. A character who has to improvise a shelter from a cardboard box is still effectively homeless, but technically speaking, it is a "home". Indeed, in some jurisdictions, courts have ruled that police must get a warrant before searching it. While a cardboard box may provide some shelter, homelessness advocates point out that people sleeping in them can get exposed to cold and damp, which can harm their health (or even be fatal in cold climates). Also, sleeping in a cardboard box doesn't provide access to cooking and cleaning facilities, and cardboard box dwellers are vulnerable to the risk of fire from a nearby Trashcan Bonfire or cooking fire, and with no locking door, they are at risk of getting beaten up. If this trope gets Played for Laughs, its owner will treat it with the same dignity and respect commanded by an actual home (maybe even a Big Fancy House), and expect any visitors to do the same. While sleeping in a cardboard box is typically used as shorthand to indicate a long-term homeless person, more rarely a well-off person might sleep in a box due to a psychological condition (anxiety) or due to being on the run from a threatening person. May be a Mundane Luxury. Compare Horrible Housing, which is at least in a building, but is still used to mark its inhabitants as poor. Sleeping in a tent or tarp lean-to is perhaps more common among Real Life homeless people than a cardboard box, since boxes big enough to fit an entire person would likely be difficult to come by on a casual basis, but the more desperate cardboard box is more commonly portrayed by writers of fiction. Compare Cardboard Box of Unemployment. |

Profit has a twist on this. The title character's domineering and abusive father would force him to sleep in a cardboard box in the basement as a punishment. As an adult, in spite of being a powerful and wealthy yuppie, Profit will frequently go down to his basement and sleep in a cardboard box. | |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: In the episode "No Place Like Home", Dr. Blight manages to take away Gaia's powers, leaving her stranded among the homeless, far away from Hope Island. Later, while trying to contact Gaia, Ma-Ti gets a vision of a place made of "paper houses". Initially, the Planeteers and Captain Planet think it might have something to do with the local Chinatown, due to Gi telling them of rice paper walls in some Asian countries. Eventually, however, Wheeler spots several homeless people putting new layers of paper and cardboard over their makeshift houses damaged by the rain. This is what sets the team on the right track to find Gaia. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-647 is a living cardboard box that invokes this trope to lure vagrants inside, after which it closes itself and digests them. If it's gone long enough without eating, it will add blankets, food, and liquor to the disguise to make itself even more attractive to them. | |

Spitting Image: referenced in the 80s House Price Slum song. A parody of The Madness song "Our House", it's about a family who followed Margaret Thatcher's advice and got a "great big loan" to buy a house only for the market to collapse when they attempted to sell it (Our house, didn't work out like we planned/Our house, prices dropped by fifty grand), leaving them with no way to pay the mortgage and subsequently getting their home repossessed by the bank (Our house, threw us out and changed the locks/Our house, it is now a cardboard box). | |

DuckTales (1987): "Down and Out in Duckburg": When Uncle Scrooge becomes broke, he imagines a parody of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous which focused on him living on the street and his cardboard house, which his butler tried to maintain spick-span (and an Overly Long Gag of him continuously answering to the reporter, in a somewhat-exasperated tone, that there was nothing else but cardboard involved in the house's construction). | |
