RSCP FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can I just show up at the current RSCP location and become a guest?
A: No, you need to be first referred to the RSCP by either Amigo’s De Guadalupe (408-341-6080) or West Valley Community Services (408-255-8033). Then successfully screened by Amigo’s De Guadalupe and placed into the RSCP. 
Q: What are the RSCP hospitality services?
A: Although hospitality services are a little different at each hosting site, they typically provide a room that is open at least once per day to provide access to a microwave, snacks, power outlets to charge devices, and an open space for the opportunity to socialize with volunteers and other guests. In addition a community meal is often offered at least once per week. 
Q: Does the RSCP provide case managment services?
A: Although RSCP itself does not provide case management services, as part of the process to get into RSCP, you have an opportunity to gain access to services offered by Amigos de Guadalupe  (408-341-6080) or West Valley Community Services (408-255-8033).

Q: What makes this a "safe" car park shelter?
A: Rotating Safe Car Park ensures the safety of guests and hosts by
  • requiring participants to be screened for suitability before sharing the location of the shelter 
  • guests must agree to rules for participation and the rules are enforced
  • RSCP works with local law enforcement to ensure guests are supported 
Q: How long do guests stay at each location?
A: Guests are typically at a host site 30 nights at a time. The parking is over-night, not during the day.
Q: How many vehicles park at a time?
A: There are usually up to 15 small to medium sized vehicles per location. No more than 30 people at a time per site. Most hosts can not accommodate RVs at this time. This program is specifically aimed at people sleeping in something no larger than a van.
