      JFS Safe Parking Program
      Add to Calendar 2025-05-03T20:45:00 2025-05-03T22:30:00 America/New_York Yale Day of Service: CA, San Diego - Meal Service, Safe Parking Program Join the Yale Club of San Diego in offering a meal to unsheltered neighbors. The Safe Parking Program offers a pathway out of homelessness and a return to stable housing. Every night, they provide safety, security, and support for unsheltered San Diegans living out of their vehicles, many of whom are experiencing homelessness for the first time. As these individuals and families work to lift themselves up out of a difficult situation, many are making a nightly choice between buying food or purchasing gas to get to work and school—creating further barriers to stability are the isolation and lack of social support that so many experiencing homelessness often face. The Safe Parking Program provides a welcoming environment, meaningful resources and tools, and dignified support to help families stabilize and transition back into permanent housing. With wraparound services focused on basic needs assistance, employment, family wellness, school success, financial education, credit repair, and most importantly, a return to housing.
