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.
Shower Trailer Schedule:
10:00 am to 3:00 pm
Monday through Fridays (excluding National/Bank Holidays)
