In order to preserve the hard work and dedication of so many, we are developing a plan to ensure that our online resources remain available for anyone that wants to bring mobile showers and Pop-Up Care Villages to their communities.

This resulted in an unprecedented budget shortfall, and after much deliberation, we have decided to immediately cease 90% of our programs and operations, with full closure in Summer 2023.

We came into 2023 with good cash reserves and high-probability funding proposals. Unfortunately, most of these funding proposals did not come through as we had expected.

Since our founding in 2013, and since giving our first shower in San Francisco in 2014, our organization has revolutionized the way communities see and serve their unhoused neighbors. Our deepest gratitude goes out to all of you who joined us in achieving this incredible impact.

In March 2023, he secured emergency Section 8 housing and came to our Pop-Up Care Village to share the good news. Our team was overwhelmed with joy! Luis is a reminder of the impact of Radical Hospitality and perseverance. ⤵️

Luis has been involved in our work for years. Not only by utilizing our shower services but also by taking lead in managing our Guest Volunteer Program at our San Francisco Pop-Up Care Villages. ⤵️

We're almost halfway there! 🙌 🚿 We have until 11:59PM tonight to reach our goal of giving 1,500 people access to showers. Just $15 brings shower access to one person in need. Will you join us? ➡️ https://t.co/nstyMSaem0 #LavaMaeX #WorldWaterDay #WASH #WaterAction

It’s #WorldWaterDay I spent the last few minutes trying to think of something cute and clever but it’s just not fun anymore. We are killing ourselves by killing the planet and taking WATER for granted. There is ZERO life without it.

On this historic #WorldWaterDay, I have a request for leaders meeting at the UN this week: Take #WaterAction, put the #WaterJusticeManifesto by brave water defenders at the heart of these talks. Water is NOT a private commodity. Water is a shared human right. Water is Life.
