Our Collaboration
with the City of New Haven
We are proposing a collaboration with the City of New Haven – Office of Housing & Homelessness Services – to provide mobile showers to populations without access to these essential facilities. By working together, we can make an impact on the lives of those without access to basic hygienic services, as well as those who are homeless and unstably housed in the city of New Haven.
