Safe Parking Program

Destination Hope is a program in partnership with City District 1 and LAHSA that brings Safe Parking Spaces to individuals sleeping in their cars. It operates every night in two locations, Westlake and Glassell Park. You can access our parking locations through our Hope Navigation Center app or call (424) 343 – 7752.

Since April 2019, we have operated 2 Lots with 40 spaces to host families and individuals who live in their cars. We have served over 3,500 people and have been working to connect them with services and housing.

By fall 2024, we will offer support in partnership with the City of Pasadena.
