The $15,000 Portapotty initiated by Councilmember Micah Posner. It's the only 24-Hour shitter--now that the Homeless (Lack of) Services Centers has closed its bathroom at night--is on Front St. near Laurel close to the Broadway bridge.

The Parks and Rec Department was also told to open up the Soquel Ave and Locust Ave. garage "peek-a-boo" bathrooms, but haven't yet, as far as I've been told. Call City Council at 420-5020 and ask them to get moving before other people's bowels do.

Hats off to this actual guide to actual services by Meredy.

I'd also suggest someone do a historical study of services recently shut down by priority shifts, spending cuts, and bigotry pressure.

To those who may be in Boulder Creek and need/want a shower and a meal, I am willing to offer, now and then, to only one individual at a time (a day), such. This would be in my home, so I only ask that it be respected,that is the only thing I ask in return.

You may contact me at (831) 824-7869, but this is a cell phone with Skype on it, so it isn't on all the time, but it does give voicemail and email notifications that I have been called.
We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
