We’re taking on homelessness in Central Oregon.
And we need your help.
The number of unhoused people in Central Oregon has been rising for more than a decade. With a housing shortage and wages not keeping up with costs, more and more people are losing their homes.
We offer safe, legal, sanitary places for people living in vehicles and RVs to stay, take showers, and do their laundry.
But that’s not all. We help people get into stable housing, and we help them keep it.

‘I get to stick my key in the door and open the door.’
Former Safe Parking participant Anthony tells his story. Don’t miss Part 2, where he explains what it was like to work with his case manager and get to his goal.
Our impact in 2025:
NO LONGER HOMELESS
People who moved from Safe Parking & Microshelters to stable housing in 2025.
ON THE PATH
People who had a safe place to sleep, keep their things, and work toward their goals in 2025.
LIVING WITH DIGNITY
Appointments for people to take a shower and do their laundry in 2025, despite being closed for three months to upgrade equipment.
KEEPING THEIR HOMES
People we’re helping keep their housing and build community at two low-income apartment complexes.
What we’ve been up to
& where we’re heading
-
Safe Parking & Microshelters
We’ve expanded to Bend! We have opened an office at Westside Church in Bend, and we are operating two microshelter sites and one vehicle site in Bend.
We’ve added microshelters at some of our Safe Parking sites in Remond so people without an RV can have a safe place to spend the night. These garden shed-sized structures have heating, cooling, and beds. They’re a warm (or cool) step on the road to stable housing.

Mountain View Village
This summer, we’re planning to break ground on a community of 75 permanent homes for formerly unhoused people with a disability.
The Village will be more than just a place to sleep, with a garden, community center, dog park, classrooms, on-site case management and counseling, and more.

A Place to Play
While Safe Parking offers more stability than unauthorized parking, it’s not the same as living in a neighborhood.
So we plan to build a playground at our family site in Redmond, along with a few other improvements.
