The Safe Sleep program is a form of transitional and low-barrier housing, which aims to reduce loss of life and provide greater access to resources for our unhoused neighbors. “On January 3, 2023, the City of Culver City proclaimed a local homelessness emergency. The Safe Sleep site aims to foster a safer environment for our unhoused neighbors. This project offers a safe place where people can rest and sleep, access services, and receive wraparound support to work towards permanent housing,” said Culver City Mayor Albert Vera.

According to the 2022 Homeless Count, there are an estimated 350 people experiencing homelessness in Culver City.
