Richmond is seeking a location to establish a Safe Parking Pilot Program that will provide a secure place for people who live in their cars to sleep and access services.
On Tuesday, Richmond City Council will be asked to provide city staff with direction on site selection for the pilot program. The ideal site would be able to accommodate about 30 vehicles, including RVs and cars, a temporary trailer or tent for on-site service providers, along with fencing, lighting, and hookups for water and/or electrical, according to the city.
