RVUUF has been operating an “Overnight Parking Program.” The purpose is to give people who have no alternative but to live and sleep in their cars a place to park overnight with a minimum of services. RVUUF has allocated three parking spots behind Emerson House, and all three are currently assigned to guests.

According to this week’s “News to Note,” before RVUUF permits a person to park overnight, the person is interviewed and has to sign a document, “basically agreeing that they will be respectful of the property, other guests and the neighbors, and indemnifying the Fellowship.” Parking is available to them between the hours of 8 p.m. and 9 a.m. the next morning. RVUUF provides a portable toilet, a place to dispose of garbage and guest access to the Internet. They are also welcome to grab a cup of coffee from the RVUUF Builders as they leave in the morning.

If you hear of someone who would like to take advantage of the program please have them contact Linden Crouch, John Wieczorek, or John Limb. “If we have space, we will meet with them and ‘vet’ them and have them sign the agreement forms. We do give priority to families.”
