In April of 2018, House of Hope CDC in partnership with Team Williams, Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza, and the City of Providence, launched the state's first mobile navigation unit. Shower to Empower, a first of its kind in all of New England, provides not only showers, but case management services, medical navigation services, haircuts, and other essential items to those experiencing homelessness in Rhode Island. On Friday, House of Hope marked, without celebration, the 5000th shower offered through this program.
