People’s Self-Help Housing — We are Building Together!

I know first-hand how hard it is to find safe and affordable housing. As a young teenager, I saw the difficulties my mother had in finding a home for our family as she struggled not only to secure a place she could afford, but where it was safe for a single woman to raise three daughters.

Now as the Board Chair for the longest-serving affordable housing organization on the Central Coast, I get to personally hear about and observe the positive impact People’s Self-Help Housing is having on thousands of lives in our community. Each housing development it completes is its own little miracle. When residents move in, their lives begin to immediately change just by having the security of a safe and affordable home.

As the former Mayor of Pismo Beach, President of the 5 Cities Homeless Coalition and member of the Community Foundation of San Luis Obispo’s Women’s Legacy Fund, I know that affordable housing is one of the most important things we can provide for our communities. With it comes ready access to a myriad of services and educational opportunities and I can think of nothing more important than investing in the future of children and the care of their families.

So, please join me today in supporting this amazing and impactful organization by sending in your generous gift.
