MIDDLEBURY, Ind. (AP) Two northern Indiana companies are collaborating with a New Jersey city to turn old school buses into laundry and shower facilities for homeless women.
Infinity Trailers in Elkhart and Diamond Trailers & Specialty Vehicles in Middlebury are revamping two school buses purchased from Joliet, Illinois, into mobile shower and laundry vehicles. Each bus has two showers, a washer, dryer and couches and can house about eight people at a time.
Work on the retooled buses is expected to be completed soon before they re shipped to Jersey City, New Jersey, at the end of March. They’ll be placed in service throughout the East Coast city, said Bob Earley, Diamond Trailers’ director of sales and marketing.

MIDDLEBURYÂ â A couple of nondescript school buses will soon be rolling about 670 miles east to provide basic hygienic services for homeless women in Jersey City, N.J.
Each of the old buses, bought from Illinois Central School Bus, are being outfitted with a couple of showers, a restroom, a washer and dryer as well as a small lounge where visitors can relax until their laundry is finished.
âTheyâll be able to leave the bus refreshed and proud of who they are,â said Bob Earley, director of sales and marketing for Diamond Trailers/Specialty Vehicles at 109 14th Ave. âIt will have some semblance of the comforts of home.â
