Is it possible to be homeless but still maintain good hygiene?

Question

I might not have a place to live in about a year so I want to know if it's possible to take showers and stuff when you're living on the street?

Answer 1

It is possible, but rather difficult. Hygiene is not only about having access to a bathroom but also about sleeping in a conducive environment and taking in decent meals and something to drink. Plus, you'd also need some place to keep your belongings.

I really have no idea why you should consider this (and I'm not judging) but I might recommend you to find another alternative.

Hope that helps a tiny bit.

Answer 2

If, by some odd chance you are actually serious about this, then yes, it is.

I was homeless for 6 weeks when I was 19. It was hard, to put it bluntly, but I did manage to maintain some order in my life. My girlfriend at the time (Now my wife) and I stayed in our car and took showers at a beach changing room every day. We washed our clothes at the laundry mat or at churches that would let us.

It is possible, but it's very difficult sometimes. There are always shelters but they can be rough and full of ... less than friendly people. My wife had her shoes stolen one night while sleeping at a shelter our first few days of being homeless.

Good luck if you were serious, if not, please stop wasting our time :)
