New RV Pilot Program to Combat East Palo Alto Homelessness

Starting in November, at least 20 RVs will be allowed to park in an East Palo Alto-owned parking lot with access to portable showers and bathrooms as part of a new program designed to reduce the city’s homelessness crisis.

“You can’t afford rent here with a regular job, you have to have two jobs,” said Vicente Moreno who has lived in a motorhome for the past nine months.

East Palo Alto City Council approved the new RV pilot program Tuesday
