The resident's idea, as submitted

The idea

Access to hygiene is a challenge for the unhoused. Boston should offer hygienic facilities like toilets, sinks, and showers, plus access to basic supplies like soap, towels, menstrual products, etc. in the vicinity of Mass and Cass

Who it helps and why

Communities around the country are woefully failing to support the unhoused. Shelter is expensive and complicated to provide, but hygienic facilities & resources could go along way in terms of harm reduction for the unhoused from all backgrounds.
