Culver City Celebrates Opening First “Safe Sleep” Location for People Experiencing Homelessness 

Culver City, CA—Culver City will host an open house of a new “Safe Sleep” location that will soon be available to people experiencing homelessness in Culver City.

Witnessing the growth of homelessness in Culver City and in the region, Culver City is ramping up their efforts to address homelessness and implement goals outlined in the 2018 Council-adopted Plan to Prevent and Combat Homelessness. Under the Plan, the first goal is to increase bridge housing options, such as interim and supportive housing, and increase the numbers of people served. The Safe Sleep program is an integral part of this Plan.
