FOCUS Safe Parking Program
With the number of homeless people on the rise in Morgan Hill and many depending on their vehicle or RV as shelter, faith communities and the City of Morgan Hill have established a Safe Parking site to provide a safe place for up to 8 families, single women and couples who are homeless with no place to stay except their vehicles. The site is located at the Morgan Hill Bible Church,15055 Monterey Rd, Morgan Hill, CA 95037.

In addition to a place to park, relax and sleep overnight without the fear of harassment or arrest for trespassing, we offer:
- Dignity, respect and accountability
- Access to showers, laundry, toilets and meals
- A dedicated case manager to help them transition to housing
