Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County addresses the causes of poverty, empowering low-
income people to achieve self-sufficiency through community-based collaborations and programs.
The Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo County, Inc, (CAPSLO) Homeless Prevention/Stable
Housing Program provides emergency financial assistance to residents in households in the City of San Luis
Obispo (SLO) that are at risk of being evicted and need help with a rental payment, or who need support
securing housing with first month’s rent and/or a security deposit. Individuals provided with financial assistance
are those who can demonstrate their ability to maintain rent beyond the subsidy and are willing to participate in
case management for six months (to further ensure continued success). Case managers work with candidates
to develop and maintain a realistic post-housed budget and connect them to community resources to obtain
additional assistance including food, clothing, job training and more. In addition, individuals are encouraged to
utilize the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center for meals, primary medical care, and other supportive day
services.

How will your program and the citize ns of San Luis Obispo be ne fit as a re sult of this grant?*
Homeless Prevention/Stable Housing, part of the existing Case Management program at 40 Prado Homeless
Services Center, provides immediate financial assistance to prevent individuals from falling into homelessness
or assist them out of homelessness and into stable housing. Since rents continue to increase and landlords
are requiring up to three month’s rent to move in, additional funding is needed. Although Cares Act housing
assistance received by the County can be applied to those who have been affected by COVID-19, this grant
will provide assistance for those individuals whose homelessness or risk of homelessness is not due to COVID-
19.
Clients are screened to establish which individuals have the greatest need. Individuals who experience
unexpected setbacks caused by illness, loss of a job, or other sudden circumstances beyond their control are
considered qualified if they are also income-eligible (under 200% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines).
For eviction prevention assistance (one month’s rent), clients must provide proof of emergency need: rent
payment is in arrears or due within five days, or they must provide an eviction notice from the landlord. To
secure housing through first month’s rent or security deposit, the household is living in an emergency shelter,
a car, or a motel. They must participate in the Case Management program and show that they can afford the
monthly rent once housed. Checks are mailed directly to the landlord or given to the case manager to
personally deliver to the landlord.
(refer back to “Funding Decisions” Section on page 1 on the directions)
The majority of the funding ($9,259) will be used for financial assistance payments to cover rent or security
deposits for low-income City of San Luis Obispo households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. As
mentioned above, payments will be made directly to the landlord. The remaining funds ($741) will be used for
agency indirect costs at a federally approved 8% rate.
CAPSLO has successfully provided homeless services in San Luis Obispo County for 34 years. The 40 Prado
Homeless Services Center in San Luis Obispo achieves the agency’s mission of empowering individuals to
attain self-sufficiency through strategic programming to meet community needs, integrated services, and
collaboration.
The 40 Prado Homeless Services Center offers 24/7 emergency shelter services, meals, showers, , health
screenings at the CHC on-site clinic, services to dual diagnosed individuals, recuperative care for those
recently released from the hospital, a warming center, animal kennels, a community garden, internet access, a
mail and message center to facilitate job and housing searches, and safe parking to homeless individuals and
families. CAPSLO’s Head Start program offers the “Home Based” family education and support program for
parents of toddlers at the shelter. These comprehensive on-site services are provided by agency staff,
volunteers (pandemic guidelines permitting), and community partners.
An example of collaboration that exists with CAPSLO’s Homeless Services Case Management is the
Coordinated Entry Program with 5Cities Homeless Coalition (5CHC) and El Camino Homeless
Organization (ECHO). CAPSLO focuses on serving individuals and families in the City of San Luis Obispo,
while 5CHC serves the South County and ECHO serves the North County. The three agencies enter client data
into CAPSLO’s shared database using a common screening form to avoid service duplication. All of SLO
County is covered through this partnership, and homeless individuals as well as those on the verge of
homelessness have access to services regardless of their location, and are appropriately referred. Other local
agencies collaborating with CAPSLO at 40 Prado are Dignity Health, Tenet Health, Community Counseling
Center, CenCal Health, Restorative Partners, Legal Assistance Foundation, Middlehouse, and Casa Solana.

Benefit to Homeless Prevention program:
Human Services Grant funding will help prevent individuals living in the City of SLO that are in danger of
becoming homeless, or homeless individuals with a last known address in the City of SLO that are living in their
car, motel, or at an emergency shelter. These funds will be used to provide rental assistance to individuals and
families at immediate risk of losing their housing, or those who are working to obtain housing but don’t have the
funds for a security deposit and/or first month’s rent through case management. Grants-in-Aid (GIA) funding is
essential to house or keep housed individuals and families who would otherwise end up on the street.
Benefits to Citizens of San Luis Obispo:
Although participants come to 40 Prado from all areas of the county, Human Services Grant funds will only be
used for City of San Luis Obispo residents who are at imminent risk of homelessness. The City of San Luis
Obispo benefits from the Homeless Prevention program by decreasing the number of people who are at-risk of
homelessness and are looking for stable housing. This reduces the strain on community resources and the
limited number of rentals.
