Duwara Consciousness Foundation Shower Trailer

Details

Our un-sheltered neighbors tell us the facts – the showers they might otherwise have access to do not provide the needed cleanliness, privacy, hot water, security, or availability that they need – and they often have no access to affordable laundry ($10-$15 per load at the laundromat).

Description of Services:

Our un-sheltered neighbors tell us the facts – the showers they might otherwise have access to do not provide the needed cleanliness, privacy, hot water, security, or availability that they need – and they often have no access to affordable laundry ($10-$15 per load at the laundromat).

Good hygiene is as unattainable as it is critical for our homeless neighbors in San Diego. Lack of hygiene can be a profound detriment to one’s dignity and only exacerbates the other problems associated with homelessness and job insecurity.

DCF is dedicated to addressing this key aspect of hygiene. Offering 7 shower stalls (1 wheelchair/family unit) and 2, 20-lb washers and dryers, DCF’s Shower Trailer Program offers these services on a scale unparalleled in San Diego. As many of our homeless neighbors are transient, the mobility of our showers enables us to serve them wherever they reside.

10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Monday through Fridays (excluding National/Bank Holidays)

John Burton Advocates for Youth

Details

John Burton Advocates for Youth improves the quality of life for youth in California who have been in foster care or homeless by advocating for better laws, training communities to strengthen local practices and conducting research to inform policy solutions. 

Description of Services:

John Burton Advocates for Youth improves the quality of life for youth in California who have been in foster care or homeless by advocating for better laws, training communities to strengthen local practices and conducting research to inform policy solutions.

JBAY focuses on youth who have been in foster care or homeless, aged 13 to 26. The needs of this population are considerable. Youth enter foster care due to abuse or neglect and, sadly, their challenges are often compounded by the system itself due to placement instability, school changes, lack of access to mental health services to address trauma, and the lack of consistent, unconditional care.

Description of Services:

Launched in 2016 as the premier program of our Mobile Operations of Dignity (MOD) Squad, our Fresh Start Showers is a two-shower mobile trailer that provides access to safe shower facilities and basic hygiene resources for people experiencing homelessness in San Diego County.

Our Process

Our Fresh Start Showers events can provide up to 24 showers on a first-come, first-serve basis (ID is not required). Every guest receives a toiletry kit and bath towel to use during their 15 minutes in a private shower unit (or 30 minutes for seniors, people with mobility restrictions, or families with minors). Our shower events also serve as a resource hub as we offer services on-site, such as food, ID vouchers, or haircuts, for guests to access while utilizing our shower services.

COVID-19 Safety Measures

To ensure the safety of our guests during the COVID-19 pandemic, we installed brand new air filtration and automated sanitation systems—courtesy of the University of San Diego—in each unit that ventilate the space every 1-2 minutes and disinfect every surface within 30-60 seconds after every shower. Masks are also recommended for guests and required for all volunteers and staff on-site.

Urban Street Angels

Urban Street Angels is not your average shelter. Our youth are placed in a housing program specific to their needs. We take an evidence-based approach that improves the odds for all transition-age youth in our programs.

Description of Services:

Urban Street Angels is not your average shelter. Our youth are placed in a housing program specific to their needs. We take an evidence-based approach that improves the odds for all transition-age youth in our programs.

2020 reports on homelessness estimated that California held 161,548 homeless. Today, California’s homeless population has increased to 181,399.

With a primary approach to homelessness being food and temporary housing, it’s safe to say the continued increase in our state’s homelessness challenge suggests we’re missing something. So we’re doing more—more personalized programs for more sustainable outcomes.

Housing programs at Urban Street Angels offer a variety of approaches and supports that are tailored to the unique needs of every youth facing homelessness. Our innovative approaches include mixtures of case management, mental and physical health care support, holistic healthcare services, short-term and long-term housing, with an eye toward the particular needs of the participant. Programs like our Rapid Rehousing Program, Just Be U, and Housing Our Youth are all aimed at supporting homeless youth toward self-sustainability and personal wellness.
