LA to expand mobile restrooms for homeless (scpr.org)

Dana Brown (PACEs Connection Staff) 12/13/1711:38 AM

The city of Los Angeles will launch a pilot program bringing mobile restrooms for the homeless to four sites across Los Angeles.

The L.A. City Council approved the move Tuesday along with shifts in funding that will allow the city to continue operating some existing restrooms for homeless. The pilot will place a mobile restroom —meaning toilets, sinks, and showers — in Wilmington, Venice, downtown Los Angeles, and South Park.

The mobile units will have varying hours, depending on community needs. The exact locations within the targeted neighborhoods have yet to be determined. The restrooms will be removed when not in use and cleaned. They will also have staff on site, which Bonin said would keep the restrooms from becoming nuisances or crime magnets.
