SUBMITTED BY: JoAnne Plummer, Neighborhood Services Director PREPARED BY: Chuck Flacks, Homelessness Services Coordinator SUBJECT: Award of Professional Services Agreement to New Beginnings Counseling Center for Operation of a Safe Parking Program in the City of Goleta
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with New Beginnings Counseling Center for the operation of a Safe Parking Program in various lots throughout the City of Goleta for people living in vehicles, including other related forms of assistance for a twenty-four (24) month term, for a total not-to-exceed contract amount of $60,000 ($30,000 in Year 1, and $30,000 in Year 2) with a term ending December 31, 2027.
BACKGROUND:
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2024 –25, the Homelessness Services Division of the Neighborhood Services Department identified a significant increase in the number of individuals living in vehicles within the City of Goleta. This trend became evident through visible clusters near Girsh Park in western Goleta and along Ekwill Street in the east. The 2025 Point in Time (PIT) Count confirmed these observations, showing that 69% of Santa Barbara County’s homeless population were vehicle dwellers. In Goleta, the number of individuals living in vehicles nearly doubled, from 82 in 2024 to 160 in 2025 —a 95% increase. Monthly data from New Beginnings Counseling Center further indicates that between 150 and 200 people sleep in vehicles in Goleta on any given night.
New Beginnings Counseling Center has operated the nationally recognized Safe Parking Program in south Santa Barbara County since 2004, providing secure overnight parking and supportive services for people living in vehicles. The program is integrated with the County’s Coordinated Entry System and assists participants in transitioning to permanent housing.
The City of Goleta first partnered with New Beginnings in 2011 to operate an overnight Safe Parking Program offering up to two Recreational Vehicle (RV) spaces on City-owned 1 Meeting Date: December 16, 2025
property. During the COVID -19 pandemic, the agreement expanded to 15 standar d vehicle spaces and three RV spaces across two City-owned lots. Although the agreement formally expired after the end of the State’s shelter -in-place orders, the sites have continued operating due to ongoing demand.
Currently, New Beginnings manages 36 Safe Parking spaces across two (2) City-owned lots and three (3) church properties. The City has supported the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Goleta City Grant programs with the following grant allocations:
$11,526 (CDBG, Fiscal Year 2022–23), $10,000 (City Grant, Fiscal Year 2023–24), and $14,646 (CDBG, Fiscal Year 2024–25).
On September 25, 2025, the Neighborhood Services Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to expand the Safe Parking Program in response to growing demand and reduced state and federal funding. Both the City’s Homelessness Strategic Plan and the County of Santa Barbara’s plan identify vehicle dwellers as a high-priority population for service. The RFP closed on October 23, 2025.
DISCUSSION:
The RFP produced on e proposal from New Beginnings Counseling Center (New Beginnings). Although the RFP was marketed on the online platform, Planet Bids and followed the City of Goleta’s standard noticing requirements , it is widely accepted that New Beginnings is the only ven dor for parking services for vehicle dwellers in Santa Barbara County.
New Beginnings has an outstanding track record in the City of Goleta for outreach and placement of people living in vehicles. Their latest report to the County of Santa Barbara’s California Encampment Relief Fund Steering Committee for their Three (3) Year outreach and placement grant showed the following outcomes for Goleta:
Enrollment Goal: 50 vehicles in two encampment areas
o 15-month report: 37 enrolled (74% of goal)
Positive Placements (shelter and permanent housing):
o Of the 37 enrolled, 20 moved into permanent housing and eight into shelter for a 76% placement rate
Scope of Work
The purpose of this process was to identify a vendor that would provide stable and ongoing support for safe parking services. The RFP response focused on the ongoing management of the existing 36 spaces. New Beginnings will also support the expansion of the safe parking program into new lots with the assistance and support of City staff.
New Beginnings’ program will include the following elements:
All clients utilizing these spaces will be documented as eligible participants and the only requirement for entry into the shelter aspect of the program is possession of a current driver’s license, vehicle insurance, and registration. 2 Meeting Date: December 16, 2025
Extensive lot monitoring services will be provided through their Safe Parking Client Liaisons.
Each Goleta lot will be outfitted with either a porta potty or a permanent restroom for client use.
All clients in the program will receive case management services that are individualized and housing-focused as well as trauma informed and focused on harm-reduction. The program staff are trained in best practices for any given situation.
New Beginnings will partner with nearly ev ery applicable agency serving our community to provide reciprocal referrals and they have an in -house multidisciplinary team to best connect clients to additional services such as mental and physical health support.
New Beginnings will leverage other government funding sources to provide rapid rehousing financial support to clients, and staff will attend the Goleta Regional Action Plan (RAP) meetings with stakeholders.
Monthly reports on occupancy, services and placement will be submitted.
GOLETA STRATEGIC PLAN:
The City of Goleta 2023-2025 Strategic Plan identifies initiatives to end homelessness as follows:
City-Wide Strategy : 2. Support Community Vitality and Enhanced Recreational Opportunities
Strategic Goal : 2.1 Provide community developmen t for neighborhoods and social welfare assistance for disadvantaged and/or marginalized groups.

ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may choose not to approve this Professional Services Agreement. New Beginnings will likely continue to provide their current parking spaces in Goleta, unless conditions with existing property owners are to change. In addition, there would be no guarantee efforts for new lots would be focused within Goleta city limits.
