Neighbors for Home 2.0
Safe Parking LA is excited to relaunch our Neighbors for Home Initiative as Neighbors for Home 2.0, following a disruption by the pandemic in 2020. This revitalized grassroots community engagement program will engage local residents, neighborhood councils, and community groups to address vehicular homelessness through volunteer opportunities, supportive services, and community building. Together, we aim to foster positive interactions, tap into collective resources, and ultimately help our unhoused neighbors find their way back home.

Living Wage for Workers
With the support of the LA2050 community, our initiative aims to strengthen our organization's capacity to better serve the LA community by providing livable wages for our frontline workers who are primarily BIPOC folks, some with lived experience. By investing in fair compensation, we will empower our essential staff to continue delivering quality care to the participants in our safe parking program to end homelessness, while also contributing to the movement to create a more sustainable and equitable homelessness response sector.
