San Jose opens second safe parking site, selects nonprofit WeHope as operator

A safe parking site for people living in their vehicles will open next month, and San Jose officials have chosen who will manage it.

The San Jose City Council on Tuesday unanimously voted to award WeHope, a nonprofit homeless services provider, a $2.8 million contract to oversee the city’s second safe parking site on 1300 Berryessa Road. The site can accommodate up to 86 RVs and will give homeless residents a place to park without fear of being swept. Vehicles will not be required to have up to date registration or insurance to be admitted.
