CENTRAL COAST — Peoples’ Self-Help Housing hosted two cocktail events, “Thanking Our Partners,” for its major community supporters in October.
The events were held at Ventana Grill in Pismo Beach and Blush in Santa Barbara – Oct. 7 and 21, respectively – to recognize major donors, community partners and local officials who have assisted PSHH in their mission to provide affordable housing and programs leading to self-sufficiency for low-income families, seniors and other special needs groups on California’s Central Coast.
Each ceremony featured testimonials from residents and program participants about how safe, affordable housing, along with social and educational resources, provided on-site by PSHH, has changed their lives.
Over 50 guests attended at each location and enjoyed live music, a hosted bar and appetizers.
