Trinity Center Safe Parking Program participants will have a safe overnight parking environment that allows them uninterrupted rest. While in the program, members will work toward a sustainable housing situation. Member Advocates help with applications for housing that is accessible and affordable, offer suggestions for short and long-term housing options, counseling on safety-net programs and enrollment in benefit programs, assistance with Homeless Court issues, and ensured access to healthcare.
