Safe and Supportive Parking
Our current Safe Park began in 2017, in collaboration with the City of Morgan Hill, the Morgan Hill Police Department, the Interfaith Community of South County, and the Morgan Hill Bible Church. This supportive transitional housing model provides eight households with a safe place to live in a supplied trailer or tiny home, while they actively work toward making a lasting transition to affordable housing. Participants accepted into the program have access to on-site restrooms, showers, and laundry.
Households meet weekly with case managers to register for services, build up job skills, and follow a customized plan to make them likely to sustain a permanent residence once they attain one. To date, 58% of participants have transitioned to permanent housing.
Since this model has helped successfully transition so many of its residents into sustainable housing solutions, we plan to open another Safe Parking site in Gilroy offering the same opportunities to those who are ready to take the next step.
