B 26-0133 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Hygiene and Laundry Access Pilot Program Act of 2025

This bill establishes a two-year pilot program requiring the District's Department of Public Works to provide grants to organizations that set up publicly accessible shower and laundry facilities. It directly affects unhoused residents and those experiencing housing instability, who face barriers to hygiene access. Key provisions mandate facilities be ADA-compliant, provide supplies (shampoo, towels, laundry equipment), operate 12 days monthly for six hours daily (including evening hours), and collect usage data. The program requires at least four sites - one in each District quadrant and one east of the Anacostia River - to address geographic gaps in service.
