BALTIMORE —It's a called radical hospitality. It's a new way of helping the homeless that launched last summer in Baltimore.
It's about an effort to meet the needs of the homeless where they are on the street without access to showers, toilets and a washer and dryer.
A nonprofit called Organization of Hope set up mobile hygiene units near the downtown post office to serve the homeless. Nearly 800 people used the units, but the pilot program to try out the idea ended after four weeks.
Ever since, the vehicles have been parked in storage, unable to operate, the organization's board members say, without the city's approval.

Every town has a mobile hygiene unit. It's commonly known as a fire truck. We need to start hosing these filthy encampments and the vermin that reside there.
So do these mobile hygiene units going to pick up the trash laying around since the incinerators are shut down?
