This is what the California housing crisis looks like.
A new state law goes into effect next year that will keep rent hikes to 5%. But Bains says that impending change has led to a flood of recent evictions and pushed more renters onto the streets. “It’s brutal out there,” he says.The median home price in San Francisco is $1.4 million. Anyone earning $117,000 there is considered low income, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
This crisis in turn has spawned a growing number of Safe Parking programs across California, where pioneering organizations are now helping other groups set up similar public-private partnerships. In exchange for overnight access, organizations provide lot residents with benefits such as security, mobile showers and washer/dryers, and, most importantly, access to social services aimed at getting those living in cars back into permanent housing.
WeHOPE takes the same granular approach to helping those living in their vehicles. Caseworkers steer lot residents to free food and health care options and teach them about sound financial practices and eating habits.
