Safe Spot for RV parking in East Palo Alto called success
EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. (KTVU) - There's a pilot program in East Palo Alto that gives people who live in their RVs a safe place to park overnight.
It just started a few months ago and it's being called a success.
On Wednesday night, leaders from other Bay Area cities were on hand to see how it works.
The program currently has 16 RVs parked in its lot on Bay Road.
Judith Ortiz welcomed a KTVU crew inside her RV, where she lives with her 2-year-old nephew, Angel, and her sister. Ortiz works as a server in a restaurant, but says she couldn't afford the apartment she was living in when rent increased from $1,200 to $3,200 a month.
