Safe Parking LA partnered with UCLA Anderson MBA students to improve our organization's donor engagement and fundraising strategy. Over the course of 10 weeks this consulting team worked hard to deliver an amazing final project. We are incredibly grateful for the work of each team member!

SPLA is proud to partner with UCLA Anderson School of Management to more effectively serve Angelenos experiencing vehicular homelessness. This team kept our mission in mind and delivered fundraising strategy that has real world applications.

Case Management is a core part of what we do at Safe Parking LA. Lead Case Manger Anna Ruiz has been with SPLA for over four years, primarily helping veterans find stability and housing.

Our program offers more than just a place to sleep safely at night. Each participant has a Case Manager working on their behalf to help with car repairs, to connect them with services, and to assist with finding long term housing. Every participant has unique needs and our team works hard to find solutions that get Angelenos out of their cars and back into housing.

Thank you to all the wonderful Case Managers on our team, your work truly makes a difference!

This summer has been hot! Thanks to Temple Akiba, Safe Parking LA was able to provide water to our participants to get them through the last heatwave. Living in your vehicle can be especially difficult when temperatures skyrocket. Through in-kind donations we can help Angelenos beat the heat and stay hydrated.

If you are interested in contributing water bottles or other in-kind donations please reach out to [email protected].

When people call Safe Parking LA for help, we are ready to meet them at a critical moment – often soon after they have lost housing.

The people we serve are often different from what many imagine when discussing homelessness in Los Angeles. They include students, seniors living on fixed incomes, healthcare workers, and people impacted by the downturn in the entertainment industry.

For many, their vehicle is more than a temporary shelter. It is also how they earn a living through gig economy work.

SPLA intervenes during the earliest stages of homelessness, when consistent and structured support can help people stabilize and find housing. By providing a safe place to park, case management, financial resources, and connections to other services, we give participants the time and support they need to rebuild.

The longer someone experiences homelessness, the more difficult it can become to stabilize. SPLA provides a pathway forward before a temporary crisis becomes prolonged homelessness.

While homelessness increased across Los Angeles in 2026, vehicular homelessness declined for the third consecutive year, decreasing 4.7% since 2025.

This contrast matters. Safe Parking programs provide a vital resource for those living in their vehicles across Los Angeles. At a time when more Angelenos are experiencing homelessness, the continued decline in vehicular homelessness demonstrates why Safe Parking must remain a core part of Los Angeles' response.

Still, more than 20,000 people across LA County are living in their vehicles. Sustained funding and community support will allow Safe Parking LA to reach more individuals and families and provide a pathway to stability.
