Safe Parking Changing Lives

The year 2020 has presented huge challenges for so many, especially for those who are experiencing homelessness.  During this difficult time, the Colorado Safe Parking Initiative has grown from a concept to a movement. Safe parking lots for people who are living in their vehicles are now open in Longmont, Broomfield, Arvada, Golden, and Breckenridge.

So far, each of these small, dispersed locations are in church parking lots. The church congregations provide some support, as do service providers who help people find their way back into permanent housing.

HOPE for Longmont opened its first lot in June and has two more on the way. CBS4 reported on their success in a recent story. Heather, one of the safe parking lot residents who is featured in this story, recently moved into her own apartment.
