To provide safe shower opportunities to unhoused neighbors across Metro Atlanta + beyond
This space is their private temporary sanctuary to take care of themselves
Human rights
Access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is a human right, recognized by the United Nations. It is not a privilege. WASH is critical to sustaining life, health + dignity.
At the heart of Mobile Showers Atlanta is our intentional objective to connect. We show love and respect. We support through trials and celebrate triumphs. We speak possibility and opportunity. We bring resources. The core belief that every person has talents and skills meant to be gifted to the world, is a foundational guiding principle. Another is, one person can make a difference in the life of another. Help us help them.
DESIGNED FOR A PURPOSE - BUILT TO SERVE
SAFE PERSONAL SPACE
Ordered in Winter 2023, Lang Trailers delivered our custom shower trailer in April 2023. Constructed to our exact design specifications, the trailer features four private compartments. Each individual guest walks into a space with a 34” x 36” shower pan, shower curtain, soap dispenser, commode, sink basin, mirror, deadbolt-lock door, vacant indicator, clothing hooks + floor drains. Spacious enough for personal belongings and changing, each compartment also includes an exhaust fan + air conditioning. We provide a shower seat upon request.
MECHANICAL ROOM
The mechanical room houses a jet pump, two 200-gallon freshwater tanks + on-demand hot water heater, fueled by a 100-pound propane tank mounted externally. The trailer is outfitted with two city water connections, a 240-volt or 50-amp outlet, powered by an externally mounted generator, + a 750-gallon waste bladder accommodated in the trailer undercarriage.
RESPONDING TO THE NEED
Lang Trailer warrants all of its trailers are engineered and built to endure rigorous conditions, including fire camps, disaster zones + long-term use. Our hard-wearing + beloved trailer has traveled the highways + byways of Metro Atlanta + middle Georgia, served massive turnouts, private events, endured unexpected adventures, lessons, + mishaps, + is going strong. See you at the next shower event!
Privacy & Security Assured
Safe + Spacious
Climate Controlled
Homelessness is not a choice. It is not a reflection of a person's character or worth. It is a problem that requires our compassion and action.

No Access
Imagine, no water or ability to address one's personal hygiene. Thousands go days, weeks and longer without access to showers, baths, or laundry. Where do we begin? You want to help but you are at a loss for how you can help? Join us! Every contribution makes a difference.
Discomfort
Does your heart break seeing men, women + children living on the street? Have you stepped around a tent, by a sleeping bag? Averted your eyes from the man with the sign? Many of us have. It is uncomfortable. Now, imagine the discomfort of sleeping on cold concrete, trying to stay dry and warm.
Why?
I devote my time + resources to homeless relief, mobile hygiene + affordable housing. Losing a family member during their period of homelessness + witnessing the struggles of other loved ones, I know homelessness is a profound life disruptor. No one grows up wishing to live on the street unsheltered.
Daily, thousands of men, women + children fight for survival on the streets. Read that again.
I do not have solutions to our challenges with access to water, sanitation + hygiene (WASH), or affordable housing. But I thought, I can do something. Mobile Showers Atlanta is one response to the immediate need. While we as a society tackle affordable housing, job re-training, access to mental health treatment, reentry programs + more, I see that the joint efforts of brilliant, compassionate people are improving conditions for our unhoused neighbors today. Join the mission.
In service,
