Safe-park program at Vancouver Mall shuts down
An encampment at the Vancouver Mall parking lot designed for people living out of their vehicles is shutting down, effective today.
The safe-park program started April 2, just as resources for people without homes were shuttering across the state in response to the stay-at-home order meant to slow the spread of COVID-19. It provided a safe, free and legal place for people living in their cars or campers to shelter-in-place.
