Mobile Hygiene

What if you couldn't shower when you needed or wanted to? What could you accomplish? How would people treat you?

A shower makes so much possible. Amber's face alone speaks volumes about what it does for your dignity and sense of hope.

Pop-Up Care Villages

By mobilizing dozens of service partners to the street, we dramatically increase access to critical services like showers, haircuts, clothing, medical, dental, employment and more, to help our guests make forward progress.

Replication: sharing our model

Through our open source toolkits, in-depth training and strategic partnerships, Lava Maeˣ is building a worldwide network of providers who take critical services for our unhoused neighbors to the street. To date, we’ve inspired, advised or trained 170 programs in 155 communities worldwide to create mobile hygiene services modeled after ours.
