Lake County supervisors discuss safe-parking options, possible North Lakeport Shelter expansion using $1.5 million
Summary
Board members reported meetings with faith leaders and county behavioral health about safe-parking sites for unsheltered residents and possible service expansion at the North Lakeport Shelter, mentioning $1.5 million in available funds.
Lake County supervisors reported ongoing work to identify safe-parking locations for people living in vehicles and to explore expanding services at the North Lakeport Shelter, including the potential use of roughly $1,500,000 to support the effort.
The discussion came during routine calendar reports when a supervisor said they had been meeting with faith leaders from the city of Clear Lake "to discuss some potential safe parking possibilities for our unsheltered folks, seeing if we can use some of that, $1,500,000 to create that so that we're looking all around the lake to provide that rather than just 1 location." The same supervisor later said they would "have a conversation with behavioral health and RCS, to again see if there is the possibility of expanding services at the North Lakeport Shelter, which might include safe parking."
Board members described the approach as looking for multiple locations around Clear Lake rather than a single centralized site. No formal proposal, funding allocation, or timeline was put before the board in the meeting minutes; supervisors said these were planning and outreach steps taking place outside the formal agenda.
Supervisors also noted related meetings and partners: a planned Blue Ribbon Committee presentation on green water services, an expected LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) meeting, and conversations with faith leaders and county behavioral-health staff. No vote or directive to staff was recorded during the calendar report segment on the transcript.
