Heidi White, a resident of the Santa Teresa safe parking site, has been disappointed by the lack of housing support and caseworker engagement since her arrival. Although the site opened to provide a safe place for those experiencing homelessness, residents report inadequate assistance in securing permanent housing, limited interactions with caseworkers, and restrictive rules. LifeMoves, the nonprofit managing the site, acknowledges the difficulty posed by systemic issues like rising housing costs and stagnating wages, which affect residents' progress toward stable living situations.
"Our caseworkers don't have speciality training. I haven't seen her since March." - Heidi White, highlighting the lack of support and consistent case management at the parking site.
"As with most Silicon Valley-based interim housing programs, broader systemic challenges can significantly impact a client's ability to achieve a positive exit." - Maria Prato, acknowledging external factors affecting housing solutions.
