I encourage everyone to contact the Tacoma Pierce County Health Department, the City of Tacoma, Pierce County, and every city and town in Pierce County and tell them you want adequate public sanitation facilities available NOW.  Porto potties, hand washing stations, shower trailers, garbage pins - all with regular servicing.  All across the county.  We are not a developing nation.  We can do better than this!  We have to do better than this.

Grocery stores and some gas stations, unfortunately are the only ways anyone has access to public restrooms at this time. I have no idea what we can do to help with this issues. When they closed all the restaurants, parks and other public places, this is the first worry that came to mind for me of homeless population’s needs.

Good Morning,

  Now that parks are all closed, including their restrooms, are there facilities people who are experiencing homelessness can utilize?  A number of our nurses have had patients report difficulties in finding bathroom facilities.

 

Thank you,

 

Melissa
