Showers are a basic necessity...
...but finding accessible and hygienic showers is extremely challenging for individuals experiencing homelessness. Public restrooms rarely include showers and fail to meet the needs of those experiencing homelessness. Even in shelters, individuals are often limited to sharing a single shower with dozens of other residents.
To ensure that the Showers Program can continue to serve our community, HOPE at Davis is collecting donations to assist with the program’s insurance and facility fees. |
"We call on all of our fellow UC Davis staff, faculty, and students to support the Showers Program by following the UC Davis Principles of Community and advocating for the use of our facilities in productive and inclusive ways."
