R9N Mobile Showers HomelessPortable restrooms &
showers for the homeless
Residents of Miami Beach are complaining
about defecation on their streets and
homeless showering on public beach showers
in front of their condos or beach access.
Dignity & Respect to lead to
willingness to leave the streets
Positive change for positive outcome!
We have different types of homeless.
Not all them are “bums”.
Understanding their psychology in
order to be able to understand their
actions and how reach the homeless
Looks are an expression of our
feelings
Loss of hope –Lost of moving forward
“Humanize” the homeless from
outside-in
When you can clean someone up, they feel
better about themselves, their self-esteem is
raised, they know people aren’t looking down
on them because they smell or look dirty.
