Organization Overview
Colorado Safe Parking Initiative was founded in 2020 to support people experiencing homelessness who are living in their vehicles and provide them resources to get into housing as quickly as possible. CSPI was built on the belief that with prompt intervention, most people living in their vehicles can transition back to self-sufficiency. To accomplish this, CSPI creates legal parking locations, known as SafeLots, that provide safety, sanitation, and case management services throughout the Denver metro area. CSPI currently serves individuals in 110 vehicles.
Proposal Description
CSPI intends to use the Impact100 grant to hire a Development Manager who will be responsible for crafting a multi-pronged plan for increasing and diversifying privately sourced revenue streams that will ultimately diminish CSPI’s current heavy reliance on local and government dollars.
