SAN LUIS OBISPO — People’s Self-Help Housing (PSHH) has opened its newest affordable housing development: Broad Street Place.
Located at 3720 Broad Street in San Luis Obispo, this new construction development is comprised of 40 units with three commercial spaces available. Residents have access to a community center, shared kitchen, barbeque space, outdoor patios, laundry facilities, bike storage, playground, electric vehicle charging stations, on-site property management, free internet, and supportive services. Some units provide ADA-certified accessibility for those with mobility, hearing, and vision limitations.
“This is a very collaborative project. While we can do a lot on our own, we do so much more when we work together.” said Ken Trigueiro, CEO & President. “It’s really fun to celebrate this moment.”
Many dignitaries and community partners, including San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg, City of San Luis Obispo, Mayor Erica A. Stewart, and representatives from the office of US Congressman Salud Carbajal, the office of State Senator John Laird, and the office of State Assemblymember Dawn Addis, were also in attendance.
“All this collaboration is what makes what we’re doing today successful,” said Mayor Erica A. Stewart. “And we are so honored to have this property in our community.”
Broad Street Place has come together through a collaborative effort with numerous community partners. Funding support was provided by the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the California Department of Developmental Services: Tri-Counties Regional Center, the County of San Luis Obispo, the City of San Luis Obispo, Bank of America, California Community Reinvestment Corporation, and Enterprise Community Partners. The site was designed by Murray Duncan Architects, with engineering from Ashley Vance and RRM Design Group.
“It’s always an exciting day when we get to welcome residents into their new homes,” said Jane Renahan, Director of Property Management. “We are proud to bring another safe, affordable place to live to the City of SLO for our veterans, families, and vulnerable communities.”
