Our Mission The mission of Haven of Hope on Wheels (HOHOW) is to provide the homeless access to showers, laundry & grooming services in the most convenient way possible, which in turn they will be able to seek and hold jobs, make medical appointments and in general have a sense of personal pride.

History of our Establishment
HOHOW is a program established through the Oroville Southside Community Improvement Association (OSCIA), a 501c(3) nonprofit corporation. OSCIA was founded in 2009 with the focus of helping the underserved with resources: healthcare, health education, employment and training needs of residents, and their relationship with local government.

Why Haven of Hope on Wheels?
The homeless lack adequate access to hot showers and laundry facilities, and it is a key reason many do not seek employment, routine preventative medical care, housing assistance and other social services for which they are eligible.

Why HOHOW Continued Consequently, homeless individuals segregate themselves from mainstream society and suffer the societal stigma associated with poor hygiene. Our solution is a mobile hygiene and outreach program called Haven of Hope on Wheels, developed and operated by OSCIA
