In a 3-2 vote, the Encinitas council backed the Safe Parking Program relocation proposal. The program is to move from the Leichtag Foundation property to the lower parking lot of the city’s Community and Senior Center property. Jewish Family Service Chief of Staff Chris Olsen told the council that the program has helped 43 households find housing since it began and continues to help those temporarily living in their vehicles.
