Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo starts “Welcome Home Program” for homeless

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo has created a project to use grant money to help homeless find a safer place to live.

HASLO just received enough grant money to offer more than 150 section 8 vouchers to homeless in the county.

The difficulty with the program, however, has been finding landlords to agree to take them in.

Therefore, there is a generous incentive program now included. A landlord who will give it a go for the first time will receive a $4,000 signing bonus to join the program.

The homeless will pay a portion of rent and prove they are working or have some source of income.

Landlords interested are encouraged to call 805-594-5358 for more information.
