Safe Parking Pilot Program

About

The city is currently developing a Safe Parking Pilot Program that will provide a safe, legal place to park for people experiencing homelessness and living out of their vehicles. While no one should have to live in their car, providing a safe place to park can help families and individuals in this situation stabilize their lives and gain better access to services and employment.
