Already, there are several host sites across Salem where unsheltered individuals are permitted to temporarily park their vehicles for sleeping and living. Now, the City in partnership with shelter management by Church at the Park, can offer safe vehicle parking for more than one night at a time.
Unfortunately, vehicle residency is one of the fastest growing forms of homelessness in our area. Designating parking lots for those in need offers a prompt response in recognition of Salem's shelter crisis and rise in homelessness.
