Yolanda and Luis - Safe Parking LA

A woman and a man stand side by side, smiling, in front of a plain light-colored wall.

Yolanda and her husband Luis lost their housing earlier this year when Luis was out of work and Yolanda could not afford to pay their rent on her income alone.

Yolanda and Luis enrolled in Safe Parking LA in February 2021. Shortly after enrolling, they began experiencing car problems. With case management support and financial assistance from Safe Parking LA, Yolanda and Luis resolved their vehicle issues allowing Yolanda to get to work safely. Their case manager also helped the senior couple to identify a suitable retirement community and submit an application.

In May 2021, their application was accepted and, with move-in assistance from Safe Parking LA, Yolanda and Luis transitioned into their new home.

“People would shine lights in my car to look inside my car. Safe Parking LA was a big help. I no longer felt scared with security watching over me. I finally felt safe.” – Yolanda
