Coalition explores 'safe sleep' parking-lot concept for people living in vehicles
Summary
Members of the Clark County Reentry Coalition discussed feasibility of designated 'safe sleep' parking lots for people living in vehicles, including potential partner sites, safety concerns and next steps to research locations and community partners.
Coalition members discussed a proposed 'safe sleep' parking-lot model to provide a supervised place for people living in vehicles to rest safely.
The discussion, recorded in the minutes, noted members brainstormed potential locations and community partners with large parking areas and agreed to continue exploring feasibility and possible sites. No formal decision was made; the group committed to further research and outreach to stakeholders who control potential locations.
Participants flagged typical considerations for such a model — site control, safety, restroom access, partner responsibilities and potential community concerns — and agreed to continue the conversation in future meetings as feasibility work proceeds.
