In the past few years, numerous museums, zoos, botanical gardens and cities have begun to use cell phone services to provide audio tours related to points of interest. Using an auditory approach, these organizations are able convey information effectively through multi-sensory input. Research has demonstrated that such synesthetic environments nurture an imaginative approach to problems.
Perhaps this might be appropriate for the Homeless Place of Remembrance, providing a means for individual stories to be linked to places and names. A brief biography, poetry, favorite passage from literature or some other personally-relevant information could be told to the listener, bringing a greater sense of connection through the spoken word.
