Welcome to ParkPlaces!

This web site is established to assist seasonal workers coming to Park City. We are networking a coalition of groups and agencies to inform our community of the extreme seasonal housing shortage and to enlist homeowners to rent spare rooms to workers.

The Situation:

Park City - like so many other resort destinations - has a housing shortage. Seasonal employees are increasingly frustrated in their attempts to find any affordable living space within or even near Park City. City officials and resort owners recognize the problem, but efforts to correct this dilema have been largely unsuccessful. If you are coming to Park City this year, you need to be aware of this situation and plan accordingly.

To help ease the situation, the Christian Center of Park City has served our seasonal workers for the past five years. We provide them with free food from our pantry, household items and furniture from our Thrift Shop, enjoyable social gatherings, free "Tuesday Night Dinners," and also employment and housing leads. In the 2006-2007 Winter Season we served 2,700 free meals between December and March, and placed tons of supplies and furniture in temporary housing units.

Past efforts to generate more rental rooms were not as successful as we wished. This year we have a new plan! Beyond this plan we will continue to work closely with other housing concerns, including Property Management Companies, Park City Municipal, and Mountainlands Community Housing Trust.

Are you an incoming seasonal worker? Check with us and we will suggest rental space as it becomes available, as well as give you other contact information.

Are you a Park City homeowner? Do you have a spare bedroom? Would you be willing to rent that space to one or two seasonal workers? Check with us to list your space to prospective renters
