September News from People’s Self-Help Housing

eNewsletter | September 2022

This beautiful tilework was crafted by PSHH residents of Ladera Street Apartments, Santa Barbara. It is in the style of traditional folk-art found in the State of Guerrero in South Central Mexico. 
Dear Friend,In honor of National Latinx Heritage Month, we celebrate the innumerable contributions of the heritages and cultures that daily enrich our communities.

At People’s, the majority of our staff and residents identify as Latinx.  We are committed to growing in a direction that align with the needs voiced by those we serve, whose lived experience has been shaped by Latinx heritage, and to especially address past disparities and present day inequities.

To further strengthen our Latinx communities, we ask you to continue to support our mission.  Your investments and partnership meaningfully impact lives each day.  May all go well for you and yours, as we enter the Fall Season together!

Ken Trigueiro, CEO & President

Building Healthy Communities

Once a month, in collaboration with the Santa Barbara Food Program, residents in Carpinteria receive fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products – right at their door!

With rising costs, this program helps ensure our residents have access to healthy, nutritious groceries for the whole family.

The Build Her Fund 

The Build Her Fund supports and inspires women and girls* at PSHH properties. It is a commitment to equity, education, and an investment in their emerging ideas.

Micro-capital for start-ups and equipment, fees for trainings and conferences, and resources to build networks are just some of the ways gilts from the Build Her Fund empower our residents!
When you amplify the efforts of women, you not only strengthen them, but you strengthen their families, the community, and our world.
Please make your generous gift today, and help Build Her! pshhc.org/BuildHer
