Andrew Morales

Director of Programs | Safe Parking LA

“Racial equity and justice are fundamental to ending and preventing homelessness in Los Angeles County because they address the underlying systemic injustices that perpetuate disparities in housing, economic opportunities, and access to resources.”

Andrew joined Safe Parking LA with extensive experience in youth programs, homeless prevention and housing services, food program distribution, and domestic violence services in Southern California. He spent 13 years at Human Options in Orange County, where he progressed from Children’s Program Supervisor to Residential Programs Administrator. During his tenure, Andrew revised residential program policies to remove barriers for those seeking refuge, strengthened client safety and experience protocols, and led a team that secured federal funds for essential shelter repairs.

As the Director of Programs at Safe Parking LA, Andrew has been instrumental in expanding services to provide safe overnight parking for individuals living in their vehicles. His efforts have significantly contributed to the organization's mission to support and transition individuals experiencing homelessness into stable housing.
