Overview

  • RVs and other large vehicles may not stay parked in the same spot for more than two hours starting Nov. 1, with $108 tickets and possible towing for violations.
  • Vehicles documented as parked in the city before June are eligible for six-month permits that can be extended if no placement is available, with a required good neighbor policy and case management.
  • The city will offer single adults with RV permits options that include housing vouchers, non-congregate shelter beds and permanent supportive housing units.
  • A pilot buyback will pay roughly $3,000 to $7,000 to those who relinquish their vehicles, and the mayor’s plan sets aside $12.9 million and 165 rapid rehousing vouchers for RV dwellers plus 260 for others.
  • Families face the greatest strain as 90% of the city’s roughly 130 unsheltered families live in vehicles, safe-parking programs are inactive, and District 10 and parts of the west side host the highest concentrations.
