California is experiencing a homelessness crisis. Our design is a mobile laundromat that is strategically moved to areas with high concentrations of people experiencing homelessness so they can wash their clothes without charge. In doing so, they will have the opportunity to freshen up while also being able to converse with others in similar circumstances. It will make people feel more at home and connected through its promotion of community among those who are unhoused. This design has the capability to make an international impact since homelessness is a worldwide epidemic, affecting millions of people.
