San Jose has opened its second safe parking site at 1300 Berryessa Road, offering a haven for homeless individuals living in RVs. The site can accommodate 86 RVs, aiming to alleviate the struggles faced by vehicle encampments. It provides essential services such as case management, sanitation, and job training via a $2.8 million contract with nonprofit WeHope. With an investment of $9.7 million, the city aims to create a safe environment and reduce blight while improving the lives of unhoused members of the community through educational and supportive programs.
"I'm thrilled about the opening of the Berryessa safe parking site, a significant step in addressing the challenges of vehicle encampments in our community."
"We're exceptionally thrilled to be able to provide services to the marginalized members of the community."
