The Hygiene and Laundry Access Pilot Program Act of 2025 aims to address the pressing needs of unhoused residents in the District of Columbia by establishing a pilot program through the Department of Public Works (DPW). This program will provide grants to organizations to create and manage publicly accessible shower and laundry facilities. The bill mandates that at least four facilities be set up across the District, ensuring that one is located in each quadrant, including at least one east of the Anacostia River. The facilities must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, provide necessary hygiene supplies, and be available to the public for a minimum of twelve days each month.

The legislation outlines specific requirements for the organizations receiving grants, including the provision of secure storage for users' belongings and the collection of data on facility usage and user experience. Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of consulting with the Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services to select appropriate facility locations. The pilot program is modeled after successful initiatives in other regions and aims to improve access to essential hygiene services for individuals experiencing homelessness or housing instability in the District.
