Episode: A Parking Spot for the Homeless: Oakland Churches Open Their Lots
Description: Nearly a quarter of the people experiencing homelessness in Oakland are living out of a car, truck or some type of vehicle. That's why four Oakland churches announced a new plan this week to allow homeless people to park cars overnight on their properties. Churches will offer portable bathrooms and showers, while up to 65 people will get help finding new jobs and places to live. Today, we visit one of these churches.
