“I feel so much safer being able to have a spot I can come back to at night. On the streets, it can be scary having strangers looking into your car or having the police knock on your window to tell you to move along. I wouldn’t be able to stay in a spot for more than 3 days.”

None of the domestic violence shelters had space when a victim found herself homeless in her car. She found security and comfort while staying in our safe parking program, and she frequently met with her case manager to find housing with her Section 8 voucher. Even with delays with Section 8 due to the pandemic, within a few months, she was able to find a wonderful apartment she can call a safe home.
A family of three became homeless in their RV after the father of the family lost his job due to the pandemic, and it was difficult to find his type of work during shelter-in-place. Because of our program, they could safely stay in Mountain View where their 7 year-old daughter could continue to go to her school. Not long after they were able to get free vaccines in our parking lot, the father was able to get a new job. They sold their RV and they are now back in permanent housing!
A local senior had been chronically homeless for 10 years. Because of shelter-in-place, he originally had no access to a toilet. Our program was able to give him access to a 24/7 bathroom and access to free showers and laundry 2 times a week. He was also able to see a doctor for the first time in years. After two weeks, he was able to be referred and moved into a transitional housing program.
