Program areas at Think Dignity
Fresh start showers: the 2-shower/2-restroom trailer brings basic Dignity to our unhoused neighbors by providing access to safe shower facilities to various communities throughout the county. The mobile showers program was initially introduced in 2015. The program aims to provide warm showers, as well as other much needed services, such as outreach case workers and health services.
Homeless youth legal and advocacy project (hylap): hylap provides direct representation to homeless and at-risk youth ages 14-27 in their criminal defense matters while also getting paired up with an advocate who connects them to social services to provide a more holistic approach to addressing barriers in their pathway to success.due to covid, this program remained in operation; however, it continued in an online/virtual format in 2020.
Transitional storage center (tsc): this center has 400 bins and lockers that allow homeless individuals to safely store their belongings while they work to transition off of the streets.tsc was deemed an essential service and therefore continued to operate during covid.
