Clean Comfort, Homeless Services

Clean Comfort Program provides a shower facility, a clean change of clothing and medical assistance for homeless men and women.

The facility offers medical consultations with various health care professionals who visit the site on a regular basis. Other services provided are: mail drop; phone services; bus tickets; and toiletries. Direct on-site referral services are provided to the homeless. Agencies are contacted to visit the facility to render on-site services such as, East End Health Facility, Community Services Board, HomeBase, Veterans Administration, AIDS Foundation, HealthCare for the Homeless, and many others.

Some of the services are dental, general health, AIDS education, Flu shots, TB tests, blood pressure and cholesterol screenings. We maintain an adult clothes closet on-site - however, showers must be taken first in order to be issued clothing. These articles primarily come from private donations. We also have two washers and one dryer enabling staff to clean donated clothes as well as clothes of the participants.

 Funding primarily comes from the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and private donations.
