[Neighbors] E-Bikes for APD

[Meta Hirschl]

Mobile shower/toilet facilities and portables seem like really good options
 -  wonder if anyone: city, state, local nonprofits, etc are working on
this?

Such obvious human needs to be met.

We all see daily the result of not providing that to our unhoused citizen
neighbors.

I understand there are challenges making these services available and also
know there are solutions.
