Safe Parking

Alameda County

The Alameda County Safe Parking program in San Leandro, at the Fairmont Campus, offers local community members who are experiencing homelessness with a safe place to park at night and a place to park during the day that isn’t in local neighborhoods, opportunities to engage with resources and services, and a stable community where they can begin to reconnect with their informal support network. To participate in the 24 hour safe parking program participants must register by calling 973-315-6000 or visiting alcosafeparking.com.
