End Homelessness California, The Shower of Hope Project
www.theshowerofhope.org
The Shower of Hope project is based on the idea of offering free showers to those experiencing homelessness. In addition to offering those without shelter a way of staying clean and therefore healthy, we strive to give our clients dignity and confidence through cleanliness as a way of integrating back into society.
Through our projects in Highland Park, South Pasadena, and Huntington Park, we have noticed an immense change in the attitude and outlook of clients, who after a shower are far more receptive to case management services. Our project in Huntington Park was an immediate success due to the lack of other homeless resources available in the area. With no other public showers available and the recent outbreak of Hepatitis A within the homeless community of Los Angeles, it is not only a wanted resource but a much-needed resource for Huntington Park.
With the help of AltaMed, we hope to double our efforts by operating a 2nd day weekly and giving our clients the resources they need to be healthy and happy. The proposal includes adding to both days a gift bag for each person that contains fresh fruit, healthy snacks, and mineral water.
I support this project wholeheartedly!

I fully support this project. I think it will help the make a difference not only for the homeless community but for all communities.
Yes, help the Homeless in California
I love The Shower Of Hope. A simple shower, something most of us take for granted. Yet, the impact is bigger than most people will ever realize. It’s not only about giving our Homeless Brothers and Sisters Showers, we connect in such meaningful ways. Trust is built, meaningful friendships are developed. Mel, Lisa, Lorenzo and all the volunteers are making such a difference. This grant would be such an immense help!
The Shower of Hope is able to help homeless feel worth more! They provide free showers and hygiene to those in need and is very deserving of this grant! The passion behind this project is great and with the proper funding, they can expand and help the highly growing homeless popularjon of LA.

They are an amazing team.
Hello!
I support The Shower of Hope Project and all of its endeavors. The Shower of Hope project provides hot showers and grooming supplies for the homeless population which leaves them feeling confident and dignified like a citizen of Los Angeles County should feel!
The Shower of Hope is more than just a shower, it is a way to restore dignity and hope to people living on the streets.
As a volunteer for this project, I have seen first-hand how Showers of Hope allows our city’s homeless population a brief reprieve from their situation and brings everyone together, instilling a sense of community. It allows volunteers, parish members (as the mobile showers are based in church lots), and our homeless neighbors an opportunity to engage and connect in more meaningful ways than our busy lives otherwise allow. It also restores some dignity to a community that is so often forgotten.
I love giving them an opportunity to feel better.
The Shower of Hope is deserving of consideration of this grant. They restore hope and dignity to members of our community experiencing homelessness. Being a regular volunteer since the first Shower was made available has been a personal life changing for me in being able to help others through this hopeful consistent organization. Thank you.
I’ve seen The Shower of Hope when they first started. It’s amazing how efficient the operations are and more amazing how it’s all supported staffed and financed by good sumaritans, these volunteers bring smiles and hope to the homeless community. They are deserving of this grant.
The shower of Hope is a great idea ,I see more homeless people on a daily basis ,no one wants to deal with the homeless, I feel that it’s time to help those in need. The shower of hope is a good idea and will start to end homeless!
I highly support this project as there is a dire need to assist the homeless in order to do something about this problem that has gotten out of hand. This program will give them the incentive they need to start making a positive change in their life, a sense of dignity!
I think this project is a fantastic idea.
The Shower of Hope is a great program that helps restore dignity and hope to homeless people in the community. It’s great to see a organization that is helping the homeless in this way.
