Safe Parking Program
St. Bart's participates in the City of Beaverton Safe Parking Program. The goal is to provide a safe, legal place to park for people experiencing homelessness and living out of their vehicles.
While no one should have to live in their car, providing a safe place to park can help families and individuals in this situation stabilize their lives and gain better access to services.
St. Bart's is delighted to host several Safe Parking clients; if you or someone you know would like to participate, click the link below.
