• Phase 1 (Fall 2017) – Launch mobile showers (prospective locations: San Rafael, Novato & Southern Marin)

• Phase 2 (Fall/Winter 2017) – Expansion of shower locations

• Phase 3 (Summer/Fall 2017) – Explore feasibility of complementary resources like medical services

• Phase 4 (Spring 2018) – Roll out additional services as able

Showers:

The Challenge 5

Our Broken Status Quo• There is simply not enough capacity – only 15% of Marin’s

800+ unsheltered homeless people have regular access to showers

• There is only one dedicated shower location at present (at the Ritter Center in Downtown San Rafael)

– Over half of Marin’s homeless population is outside of San Rafael, making Ritter an extremely difficult option

• Basic services are treated as a destination versus a process on the way back to housing and employment

Overcoming Barriers • Versus traditional, costly infrastructure investments that

rarely meet full demand, mobile showers are extremely affordable and easily scalable

• Mobile services can go to where people actually are, versus making people waste limited time and financial resources traveling to services

• By providing access for a limited period of time, community impacts are dramatically reduced

• By disrupting the status quo and reaching people currently off the grid, we reinforce that services should be a gateway back to housing and employment, not an end point

Phase 1

11

Required Capital• Fully vetted three vendors on price, California ADA

compliance, customer reviews, and product specs

• Final decision – purchase two, 3-stall units from Portable Restroom Trailers, LLC (each unit has one California ADA compliant unit, so we’ll have two ADA stalls of six total)

• Units are approximately 7,000 lbs with an empty 300 gallon waste water tank; even with full waste-water, the weight will allow for Class C licensed drivers

• In addition to the shower trailers, we need two pickup trucks that can each tow 10,000 lbs, generators for on-site power creation, and laundry facilities

Legal / Contract Issues • Marin Mobile Care originally developed through a working

group of stakeholders representing local cities, the County ofMarin, the business community, residents, local nonprofits,community groups, and the faith-based community.

• The County of Marin’s Department of Health and HumanServices would acquire and legally own the mobile showerunits.

• The County of Marin would contract with a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization to run the showers

– The 501(c)3 would be responsible for staffing, liabilityinsurance, supplies, operations, dumping, etc.
