Months after the former 24-hour Grayson Shelter was shut down in Berkeley at the end of last year, the up to 40 RVs that previously parked each night at its Safe Parking and Respite Program (SPARK)…
recommended in February that the Berkeley City Council expedite efforts to find another location — complete with mandatory safety inspections and fire extinguishers — that could support RV dwellers’ legal right to shelter in their vehicles.
Carole Marasovic, chair of the Homeless Services Panel of Experts, said that while the objective of an RV lot has always been to provide residents temporary reprieve during their search for permanent housing, it’s difficult to secure those projects. Money could be set aside for another RV lot from Measure P, a property transfer tax which voters approved in 2018 to help support homeless support services through 2028, but that would need to be approved in the upcoming year’s budget process.
