POLICY CONTEXT
The City’s 6th Cycle General Plan Housing Element1 includes several policies and
programs that relate to the reduction of homelessness; specific goals are listed below,
and policy and program information is included in Attachment F.
1 City of San Luis Obispo 6th Cycle Housing Element
Page 262 of 747
Item 7b
Goal 1: Safety – Provide safe, decent shelter for all residents.
Goal 3: Housing Conservation – Conserve existing housing and prevent the loss
of safe housing and the displacement of current occupants.
Goal 8: Special Housing Needs – Encourage the creation and maintenance of
housing for those with special housing needs.
The City’s FY2023-34 Financial Plan Major City Goal for Housing and Homelessness is
organized and coordinated under the broad goal statement to , ‘Collaborate with local non-
profit partners and the county, the state, and federal governments to discover and
implement comprehensive and effective strategies to reduce chronic homelessness.’
The City’s Homelessness Response Strategic Plan aligns with the City of San Luis
Obispo’s Major City Goal for Housing and Homelessness, which directs staff to
collaborate with local non-profit partners, non-governmental agencies, the county, the
state, and the federal government to advocate for increased funding and implementation
of comprehensive and effective strategies to prevent and reduce homelessness.
DISCUSSION
Background
In December 2020, the City allocated funding for the City’s first Homelessness Response
Manager who started work for the City in April 2021. Following the creation of the new
position, the City Council adopted the 2021-2023 Major City Goal for Housing and
Homelessness. Central to the work program was the creation of the City’s first Strategic
Plan for Homelessness Response.
On November 16, 2021, the City Council provided direction at a study session on
developing the City’s strategic plan to focus the plan on five key components: 1) Regional
Collaboration & Engagement, 2) Communications, 3) Data, 4) Pilot Programs, and 5)
Funding Opportunities.
On June 21, 2022, staff from the County presented The San Luis Obispo Countywide
Plan to Address Homelessness, 2022-2027 (Countywide Plan).2 In that plan, the County
outlined six key lines of effort:
1. Create affordable and appropriately designed housing opportunities and shelter
options for underserved populations.
2. Focus efforts to reduce or eliminate the barriers to housing stability for those
experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, including prevention,
diversion, supportive services, and housing navigation efforts.
3. Improve and expand data management efforts through HMIS and coordinated
entry system to strengthen data-driven operational guidance and strategic
oversight.

Page 263 of 747
Item 7b
4. Create, identify, and streamline funding and resources.
5. Strengthen regional collaboration.
6. Build public engagement through information-sharing and partnership.
On August 9, 2022, the SLO County Board of Supervisors approved the Countywide
Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness.
On September 20, 2022, and February 7, 2023, Council held study sessions3 to review
components of the City’s first Homelessness Response Strategic Plan and on March 21,
2023, the City Council unanimously adopted the plan4. The adopted plan covered the
period of July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2024, with ongoing implementation taking place as the
plan was being developed and finalized. The updated plan is intended to cover the period
of July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2026.
Staff has worked continuously to implement key tasks outlined in the Homelessness
Response Strategic Plan, in alignment with the Countywide Plan to Address
Homelessness and the City’s Major City Goal for Housing and Homelessness.
Strategic Plan Framework
Four key factors influenced the development and implementation of the City’s
Homelessness Response Strategic Plan: (1) Major City Goals and previous Council
direction, (2) alignment with the Countywide Plan to Address Homelessness, (3) lessons
learned from implementing strategies to date, and (4) feedback gained through public
engagement.
Alignment with Countywide Plan
The City’s two-year strategic plan was intended to align with the Countywide Plan as
much as possible given differences in jurisdictional purview. The County is responsible
for implementing programs set forth by the State including Social Services, Behavioral
Health, Drug & Alcohol Services, and Public Health. The County is also responsible for
setting the overall strategic direction for addressing key issues that affect homelessness
in the region. Upon adoption of the Countywide Plan, the County emphasized itself as the
leader of Countywide homelessness response. As such, the City’s Homelessness
Response Strategic Plan continues to focus on aligning with and promoting County
initiatives.
Strategic Plan Implementation
Implementation of the Homelessness Response Strategic Plan is an ongoing process and
Staff continue to adapt to emerging needs, constraints, and opportunities to prevent and
address homelessness. The key components, objectives, and key tasks outlined in the 2-
year Strategic Plan provide a framework for the City’s Homelessness Response priorities,
with the intention that Staff will incorporate new priorities, initiatives, and lessons learned
every two years to ensure the relevancy of the plan.

Key Component Areas
The updated 2024-2026 Homelessness Response Strategic Plan will continue to focus
on the following key components:
1. Regional Collaboration & Engagement
2. Communications
3. Data
4. Pilot Programs
5. Funding Opportunities
Recommended modifications for the 2024 -2026 plan are reflected in the draft strategic
plan (Attachment G).
Regional Collaboration & Engagement
Goal: Collaborate with the County to engage regional partners in collaborative
efforts to improve the effective use of resources and promote proven best
practices.
Regional Collaboration and Engagement Objective 1: Work collaboratively with the
County’s Homeless Services Division to establish and support regional priorities and
implement strategies in alignment with shared regional goals.
Implementation Updates
City Staff have worked collaboratively with the County’s Homeless Services Division as
they have expanded their team and worked to establish regional priorities in alignment
with Countywide Strategic Plan and the City’s Homelessness Response Strategic Plan.
Staff have collaborated on several initiatives, including the Homekey Round 3 and
Encampment Resolution Funding opportunities, safe parking, and the 2024 Point-in-Time
(PIT) Count.
For each of those initiatives, City staff have collaborated with the County’s Homeless
Services Division to develop cohesive communications and implementation plans,
including joint news releases, social media content, talking points, resource materials,
and community information events.
The County’s 2024 PIT Count was held on January 23, 2024, and the City’s
Homelessness Response team participated in the PIT Count planning committee,
providing feedback on priority locations and mapping for the count. The Homelessness
Response team and the Mobile Crisis Unit participated in the PIT Count, focusing on
difficult to reach locations and encampment areas located on or adjacent to private
property.
Page 265 of 747
Item 7b
Additionally, through strategic planning meetings and the Homeless Services Oversight
Committee (HSOC), the City continues to advocate for further collaboration on regional
priorities, including interim and permanent supportive housing projects, safe parking
programming, expanded Mental Health and Behavioral Health services, and funding to
sustain ongoing operations of existing homeless services.
Regional Collaboration and Engagement Objective 2: Strengthen relationships with key
stakeholders to create alignment, accountability, and opportunities for resource sharing
and collaboration.
Implementation Updates
Staff have dedicated significant time to coordinating, collaborating, and strengthening
relationships with CAPSLO, Downtown SLO, downtown businesses, reestablishing a faith
community stakeholder group, Transitions-Mental Health Association (TMHA), and the
SLO Regional Transit Authority. This engagement has resulted in identification of
opportunities to address homelessness with these stakeholders. Summaries of progress
with each entity are provided in Attachment A.
Regional Collaboration and Engagement Objective 3: Coordinate regional encampment
and street outreach and cleanup efforts with the County, service providers, and regional
partners.
Implementation Updates
CAMP Standards
In June 2022, the City implemented Compassionate Assistance, Mitigation, and
Prevention (CAMP) Standards and Temporary Storage Guidelines to provide a policy
framework for homelessness response field staff. Staff continue to monitor and update
those policy documents in accordance with current case law, City Municipal Code, and
field staff implementation feedback. The CAMP standards have clarified and streamlined
staff operations to address encampments. Staff continue to refine encampment noticing
and property storage documentation to ensure that those processes are clearly outlined
and communicated to encampment inhabitants.
Regional Outreach Coordination
City staff participate in monthly regional outreach meetings to collaborate more closely
with the County and regional partners on outreach to unhoused community members.
Staff have implemented a new process for sharing scheduled encampment cleanups via
email with regional outreach staff and service providers a week in advance to request
outreach support in collaboration with the City’s Community Action Team (CAT) and
Mobile Crisis Unit (MCU).
Staff also share scheduled encampment cleanup information with Caltrans District 5 staff
to ensure they are aware of and plan accordingly for encampments adjacent to Caltrans
jurisdiction. Homelessness Response staff also coordinate with the City’s Code
Enforcement team and private property owners to provide proactive outreach to
individuals camping on private property.
Page 266 of 747
Item 7b
In Fall 2023, the City’s Homelessness Response team also began hosting the bi -weekly
outreach meetings with City, CAPSLO, and TMHA outreach staff. The outreach meetings
were initiated as a way to focus on p riority individuals that staff are working with and
collaboratively brainstorm on treatment needs, available resources, and next steps.
Through this collaboration with service providers, City staff have established lines of
communication to advocate for unhoused individuals and connect them to needed
services.
Storm Preparedness
In response to the severe Winter storms that hit SLO County in January 2023, the
Homelessness Response Team developed a notification process for the CAT, MCU,
CSO, and Ranger Services field staff to alert unhoused individuals in priority locations of
impending storms. Three zones were established and designated to each team. Outreach
protocol was prioritized in advance of storms in order to ensure the safety of unhoused
community members, many of whom camp in hazardous flood zones. Storm updates
were provided to the Homelessness Response Manager by the SLOFD’s Emergency
Manager, who relayed information to the Homelessness Response Field Team.
Highlighted below are the three established zones, which department (SLOPD, blue;
Ranger Services, green; Fire Dept, red) serves as the outreach lead to notify individuals
in each zone, and priority locations where individuals have been known to inhabit.
Page 267 of 747
Item 7b
Regional Collaboration and Engagement Objective 4: Expand hotel voucher program in
collaboration with the County to ensure a bridge for temporary emergency shelter is in
place as new transitional and permanent supportive housing opportunities are developed.
Implementation Updates
The City allocated $25,000 in FY23-24 to support CAPSLO’s Hotel Voucher Program,
which provides hotel vouchers for individuals and families to increase capacity at 40
Prado Homeless Services Center. The Hotel Voucher Program is necessary to address
interim shelter needs, as new transitional and permanent supportive housing
opportunities are in development, including the Calle Joaquin Homekey and Welcome
Home Village projects.
The City’s FY23-24 funding support for CAPSLO’s Hotel Voucher Program allowed them
to shelter individuals and families with over 150 hotel room nights. In addition to City
funds, CAPSLO has been able to utilize COVID-19 funding the last three years for the
Hotel Voucher Program. However, with that funding source no longer available, there will
be a greater need for funds to sustain the program in future years.
The City’s recommended supplemental budget for FY24 -25 includes $45,000 for the
Hotel Voucher Program.
Regional Collaboration and Engagement: Challenges & Opportunities
1. Challenges:
a. Capacity: The greatest challenges for achieving the City’s Regional
Collaboration & Engagement objectives are resource and capacity
constraints. As the homelessness crisis continues to escalate and the
demand for services, shelter, and housing increases, the City, County, and
regional service providers are being stretched beyond current capacity
limits and available resources. The increased shelter capacity in north and
south county are necessary and welcome additions to countywide services.
However, it also further stretches County resources and impacts resources
available for the 40 Prado Homeless Services Center. The County has
limited resources to allocate for ongoing homeless services operations
countywide, and with the addition of shelters in North and South County, as
well as new transitional and permanent supportive housing projects,
resources have been diverted from 40 Prado HSC.
b. Private Property Encampments: The City is actively working with private
property owners to ensure that they are addressing encampments on
privately owned property, especially in areas adjacent to creeks that pose
flood and fire dangers, environmental impacts, and health and safety
concerns, which often make the encampment area difficult to access and
maintain. Private property encampments require the private property owner
to collaborate with SLOPD to enforce against trespassing. The City’s CAMP
Standards are only applicable on City owned property and do not apply to
private property encampments.
Page 268 of 747
Item 7b
2. Opportunities:
a. Regional Strategic Planning: As the County’s Adult and Homeless Services
Division continues to expand in accordance with the Countywide Plan to
Address Homelessness, and with future changes on the horizon due to
Proposition 1 funding and the need for a state accepted Countywide
compact with cities, there may be further opportunities for more effective
regional collaboration. The City will continue to advocate for regional
priorities and strategies related to safe parking, transitional and permanent
supportive housing, ongoing funding for shelter operations and outreach
services, and capacity building for County Behavioral Health and Mental
Health services.
b. Regional Partnerships: The City of Paso Robles recently adopted a
Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness and plans to hire a Homeless
Services Manager to coordinate their homelessness response efforts. City
Staff have met with City of Paso staff to share best practices and explore
opportunities for further collaboration and are looking to engage with other
representatives from cities in SLO County.
c. Private Property Outreach: There is an identified need for additional
education for private property owners regarding encampment resolution
options for private property. Staff resources may be directed to promote
specific education and outreach for private property owners.
Regional Collaboration and Engagement: Recommendations & Modifications
1. In accordance with the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) ‘At
HOME’ Plan5, more clarity will be required to establish lines of responsibility to
reduce homelessness. This may be an opportunity to advocate for equity in
allocation of regional resources throughout the county for homelessness response,
in proportion to the number of individuals experiencing homelessness and
accessing services. Further alignment on regional funding priorities is needed to
address the reallocation of funding through Proposition 1 and increasing impacts
to capacity constraints countywide. A recommended modification of Objective 1 is
below:
a. Regional Collaboration and Engagement Objective 1: Work collaboratively
with the County’s Homeless Services Division to establish and support
regional priorities, equitable and transparent allocation of resources,
and to implement strategies in alignment with shared regional goals.
Communications
Goal: Enable equitable access to resources and increase transparency so that all
community members are aware of efforts to address gaps in service and know
where/how/when to reach out for assistance to address concerns related to
homelessness.
Communications Objective 1: Increase homelessness response communications.
5 https://www.counties.org/home-plan
Page 269 of 747
Item 7b
Implementation Updates
Several initiatives have been implemented to successfully increase homelessness
response communications, including hosting an annual Homelessness Response Forum,
updating and distributing the Homeless Resources Pocket Guides, further customizing
the AskSLO app to facilitate responsiveness for inquiries and requests pertaining to
homelessness, and the issuance and analysis of annual surveys to gauge understanding
from the community at-large as well as the local unhoused population. An update on
each of these initiatives are included in Attachment A.
Communications Objective 2: Communicate consistent homelessness response
messaging across region.
Implementation Updates
City Staff meet regularly with the Communications Program Manager for the County’s
Homeless Services Division and collaborate on consistent messaging for regional
initiatives. The County and City have collaborated on joint press rel eases, community
information sessions, and outreach efforts for the Welcome Home Village project.
The Homeless Services Division also participated in the Homelessness Response Forum
to share updates on their Strategic Plan and 2024 PIT Count results, as well as
addressing questions related to regional efforts to prevent and address homelessness.
The Homelessness Response page on the City’s website is updated on a regular basis
to include information on regional initiatives and resources, including 40 Prado Warming
Center updates, donation and volunteer needs, and regional project or program updates.
The City’s Communications team works closely with the Homelessness Response team
and the County’s Communications staff to ensure that consistent information is being
conveyed across all platforms.
Communications: Challenges & Opportunities
1. Challenges:
a. Homelessness Response Structure: The cross-departmental structure of
the City’s Homelessness Response efforts can present challenges for
providing consistent communications and messaging. The Homelessness
Response team has worked to streamline those processes; however, a
more robust communications plan is needed to create cohesive
communications across all City departments and in collaboration with the
County and regional partners.
2. Opportunities:
a. Community Forum: The upcoming Homelessness Response Forum on
June 5, 2024, will provide opportunities for community engagement and
resource sharing, and outcomes from the Forum may provide further
direction for communications opportunities.
b. AskSLO: Homelessness Response staff will continue to raise awareness
for AskSLO as a community engagement tool through various events and
outreach opportunities.
Page 270 of 747
Item 7b
c. DEI Collaboration: Homelessness Response staff have begun collaborating
with the City’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team to draft Racial and
Gender Equity statements in alignment with homelessness response
efforts. Staff are eager to explore further opportunities for collaboration with
the DEI team and key stakeholders in the DEI space.
Communications: Recommendations & Modifications
1. Updates to Community and Unhoused Surveys – For consistency’s sake, the
questions on the community and unhoused surveys remained mostly the same as
the survey that was administered in 2022. Staff’s intention was to establish
consistent metrics to obtain year-over-year data. However, there were several
questions that seemed to confuse individuals due to wording and/or relevance. For
future versions of the annual surveys, it is recommended that certain questions be
removed or updated to provide clear and concise questions for individuals to
answer that would result in more effective feedback. Staff also recommend
researching statewide and local surveys and incorporating relevant survey content
to create consistent metrics. Updates to the key task are outlined below:
a. Objective 1, Key Task 4 – Conduct annual survey to measure awareness
of existing homeless services and incorporate relevant updates to
survey questions to increase engagement and provide more effective
feedback.
Data
Goal: Streamline internal and external data collection processes to enable timely
and effective coordination of homelessness response efforts and provide analysis
to inform best practices.
Data Objective 1: Utilize a shared data platform.
Implementation Updates
For the past year, staff have focused shared data platform
improvements on three information sharing tools: a
Suvey123 data management app for internal coordination
and monitoring of encampment resolution; Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS), an information
technology system used by SLO County and participating
service providers to collect client data related to housing and
services6; and Octavia, which is a Community Information
Exchange platform currently utilized by several regional
providers. Great progress was made with Survey123 App
usage by City field staff, where significant challenges remain
concerning HMIS and Octavia integration. Implementation
updates related to each platform are included in Attachment
A.
6 https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/hmis/
To date in FY23-24, City
staff have addressed 130
encampments, resulting
in 153,590 pounds of
trash being removed.
Encampment noticing,
outreach, and cleanup
efforts are documented
using the Survey123 app.
Page 271 of 747
Item 7b
Data Objective 2: Increase data sharing between agencies.
Implementation Updates
City staff have collaborated with the County and regional partners to increase data
sharing between agencies on encampment cleanups, outreach, calls for service, and
enforcement.
Staff from the Community Development, Police, and Fire Departments meet regularly with
CAPSLO staff to discuss calls for service, arrest, and medical emergency response data
for 40 Prado Homeless Services Center to assess service gaps, determine root issues,
and strategize on implementation of needed operational changes.
City staff have committed to sharing calls for service and incident reporting data with
CAPSLO on a quarterly basis and CAPSLO provides the City with quarterly data on their
Housing Focused Shelter Program, Night-by-Night Shelter Program, Warming Center
Program, Hotel Voucher Program, and 40 Prado Safe Parking Program.
Field Team Data
The City’s Homelessness Response Field Team is comprised of City staff across the
Community Development, Police, Fire, Public Works, and Parks & Rec reation
departments, and each team tracks data specific to the role they play in homelessness
response efforts.
The following table provides an overview of data that is currently tracked by the City’s
Homelessness Response Field Team.
FY 23-24 To Date – Homelessness Response Outreach & Encampment Cleanup Data

Data Objective 3: Increase transparency of below market rate housing inventory and
make data more accessible to service providers and regional partners.
Page 272 of 747
Item 7b
Implementation Updates
Connecting Individuals in Need of Housing Opportunities
In the last year, City staff provided information to individuals requesting information
regarding affordable housing opportunities. Staff provided contact information and links
to HouseKeys7, the City’s Below Market Rate (BMR) Housing Administrator, as well as
the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO)8 and People’s Self-Help Housing9. All
three entities have separate interest lists and staff recommended reaching out to all
entities.
Regional Information Sharing
City staff regularly participated in the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments
(SLOCOG) Regional Housing Action Team meetings, sharing updates on local affordable
housing regulations and development with other local government agencies and
stakeholders involved in regional affordable housing production. The General Plan and
Housing Element Annual Reports for 2023 were shared with SLOCOG. SLOCOG
updates regional information on regional needs housing allocations (RHNA) and other
housing data on their Data Drive Housing webpage10.
Collaboration with Local Property Owners and Developers
City staff presented at a Housing Study Session during the March 5, 2024 City Council
meeting. Staff presented the “housing continuum” of the various housing types offered in
the City, including affordable and BMR housing. Staff received valuable input from City
property owners and developers in public comments, with various recommendations on
how to incentivize affordable housing production within the City. Stakeholder engagement
on the housing continuum work program is ongoing.
Data: Challenges & Opportunities
1. Challenges:
a. Access: The greatest challenge to achieving a more streamlined data
collection process continues to be obtaining access to a shared data
platform. Staff will continue to advocate for the City becoming an HMIS-
participating agency to remove data entry and access barriers.
b. Multiple Platforms: While the Octavia and HMIS platforms serve distinct
purposes, there is concern about service providers and jurisdictions utilizing
multiple platforms rather than one streamlined data platform. The County
does not have plans to connect the HMIS and Octavia systems. Staff will
continue to gather more information about how the various systems may be
integrated and implemented effectively for the City’s Homelessness
Response efforts.

Page 273 of 747
Item 7b
2. Opportunities:
a. HMIS Reporting: In discussions with the County’s Homeless Services
Division regarding their migration to a new HMIS system, the option for
receiving recurring reports on aggregate HMIS data was presented. HMIS
reports may include live data on bed availability by region and client counts
by project type.
b. Project Data: As implementation for the Calle Joaquin Homekey and
Welcome Home Village projects moves forward, there will be further
opportunities for data sharing and integration amongst entities. City staff will
be collaborating with People’s Self -Help Housing, the County, and the
Coordinated Entry System (CES) administrator, CAPSLO, on the housing
placement process for the Calle Joaquin Homekey project, which will
include utilizing the HMIS and CES systems. On the Welcome Home Village
project, the City will be providing outreach services in collaboration with the
County and Good Samaritan Shelter, which will also require utilizing the
HMIS and CES systems. Without direct access to those systems, the City
will be reliant on partner agencies to input and access data.
Data: Recommendations & Modifications
1. Update Objective 1, Key Task 2 – Delete existing key task, “Share data findings
and best practices with the County and regional partners to support Countywide
systems including Coordinated Entry and HMIS.” Update to, “Advocate for a
shared data platform for City outreach staff utilization, including City participation
in the Countywide HMIS.”
2. Add Objective 2, Key Task 3 (New) – “Work with SLO County Homeless Services
Division and SLOCOG to advocate for countywide tracking of regional shelter beds
and interim and supportive housing units.”
a. Staff gathered shelter and housing inventory information specifically for the
Council Housing Study Session, but there is currently no regional tracking
mechanism for this important data metric.
Pilot Programs
Goal: Collaborate with the County to develop scalable and replicable programs to
connect those experiencing homelessness to a variety of shelter and housing
options through timely outreach, and advocate for County implementation of
successful programs.
Pilot Programs Objective 1: Continue development of City-operated pilot programs and
share best practices with County for potential regional implementation if proven effective.
Implementation Updates
Mobile Crisis Unit
Embedded within the City’s Fire Department, the Mobile Crisis Unit (MCU) was
implemented in the Summer of 2022 and pairs a mental health case worker with a fire
department emergency medical technician (EMT) or paramedic that responds to calls for
service within the City and provides crisis support services to individuals suffering from
non-emergency mental challenges, drug and alcohol addiction, and chronic
Page 274 of 747
Item 7b
homelessness. In 2023, the MCU established 3,285 contacts with individuals
experiencing homelessness and reunified 91 homeless individuals with agencies or
family, provided 56 transports to services or alternate facilities, and fielded a total of 265
mental health crisis intervention calls for service.
The MCU has established itself over the past year as a vital component in the City’s
Homelessness Response efforts, providing proactive outreach, assessments, and
referrals for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. The MCU’s Community
Services Navigator and EMT respond to a host of emergency and non -emergency
requests for services, utilizing de-escalation and crisis intervention training to respond to
mental and behavioral health emergencies. Over the two years that the MCU has been
operating, staff have focused primarily on conducting outreach to the most vulnerable
populations in the City, in the most difficult to reach locations, including creeks, behind
buildings, in vacant structures, and below bridges and overpasses. These difficult to reach
individuals and locations are often overlooked by outreach teams, but the MCU has
prioritized proactive outreach in collaboration with other service and healthcare providers.
As the MCU program will continue to evolve to meet the needs of the community,
including a potential expansion of hours and services provided. The MCU program
currently operates Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, but the Fire Department may
expand the team to operate 24 hours a day as future resources allow.
Community Action Team
The Community Action Team (CAT) was established in 2013 and stands as the County's
first program of its kind in creating this type of proactive outreach and support. This team
is led by two SLOPD officers partnered with two outreach case managers, embodying a
synergy of expertise and compassion. With rigorous training in de -escalation and Crisis
Intervention (CIT) techniques, CAT members forge robust connections and instill trust
among individuals facing homelessness and mental health crises. Beyond mere outreach,
CAT delivers tangible solutions, including shelter, housing, addiction counseling, and
mental health treatment, while prioritizing family reunification.
In 2023, the CAT team engaged with 408 individuals, made 258 treatment referrals to
mental health and substance abuse services, made 3 permanent housing placements,
and facilitated 6 family or agency reunifications for individuals experiencing
homelessness and/or mental health crises. CAT has been successful in working with
partner agencies to find alternatives to incarceration that include service placement and
transitional housing. In 2023, the CAT team also provided 4 Behavioral Health Trainings
with approximately 100 people attending.
CAT's pioneering efforts not only set the standard for the region, but also positioned it as
the driving force behind innovative approaches to community care. Contrasting CAT with
MCU underscores their shared goals and complementary approaches and
responsibilities. While CAT has honed its expertise over the years, navigating the
complex and potentially volatile aspects associated with behaviors linked to
homelessness and mental health crises. CAT and MCU epitomize the City’s and County's
partnership and commitment to comprehensive well-being and social responsibility.

Item 7b
County Behavioral Health Partnership
City staff are actively working with the County’s Behavioral Health Department to contract
Licensed Psychiatric Technicians (LPT) that would be paired with the CAT and MCU
teams to provide more comprehensive outreach and treatment services. That partnership
has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of these City pilot programs and streamline
the service delivery process.
Pilot Programs Objective 2: Coordinate with the County to identify, develop, and
implement new pilot program opportunities to provide shelter and housing specifically for
chronically homeless individuals, medically vulnerable individuals, and families.
Implementation Updates
Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Program
From April 2021 through August 2023, the City and CAPSLO successfully operated the
Railroad Safe Parking site to meet a vital need for safe parking resulting from the impacts
of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, 40 Prado HSC was temporarily closed
to new intakes and the City saw an increase in the number of households experiencing
vehicular homelessness.
The Railroad Safe Parking Program provided a number of successful outcomes. From
September 1, 2022, through August 27, 2023, the program averaged 15 vehicles per
night, serving an average of 32 individuals every two weeks. Over that period, the
program facilitated 38 successful housing outcomes and CAPSLO staff helped reunify 9
participants with families and assisted 6 clients with finding jobs. In the month of May
2023 alone, CAPSLO staff assisted 5 clients with securing permanent housing.
With the closing of the Railroad Safe Parking site in August 2023, the City of SLO, in
partnership with CAPSLO and several faith community partners, recognized the
continued need to provide individuals experiencing vehicular homelessness a safe place
to park their vehicle overnight to facilitate the transition into permanent housing, services,
and job placements. After researching safe parking models implemented by cities
throughout California, City staff began developing plans for a small, rotating overnight
safe parking model, in which the program would rotate between host sites on a monthly
basis. The program would continue to be managed by CAPSLO, in conjunction with their
40 Prado Safe Parking Program. The rotating host sites, including City owned properties
and faith community sites, would provide 12 parking spaces to be operated between the
hours of 7pm and 7am. Participants would be required to engage in case management
with CAPSLO staff.
The City, CAPSLO, and faith community partners are continuing to develop the Rotating
Overnight Safe Parking Program model, with the goal of implementing the pilot program
by the end of 2024. Approval of the Rotating Overnight Safe Parking host sites will require
a Director’s Action Permit approval process.
The rotating model is intended to be an interim solution while City staff continue to
advocate for a regional safe parking model.

Item 7b
Pilot Programs: Challenges & Opportunities
1. Challenges:
a. Service Capacity & Resource Availability: The CAT and MCU teams face
numerous challenges to being effective in their outreach and referral
capacities, including: agency/service provider capacity, shelter capacity,
availability of resources and housing, waitlists for mental health and
behavioral health services, the frequency of hospital discharges without
clear discharge plans being in place, difficulty establishing 5150 hold
criteria, the lack of psychiatric facilities and treatment facilities to hold and
treat individuals, and coordination between various service providers and
healthcare providers.
b. Recruitment & Retention: SLOPD and SLOFD also face challenges with
recruitment and staff retention for the CAT and MCU teams due to the
demanding nature of those roles.
c. Program Management: The challenges facing the City and CAPSLO with
establishing the Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Program include site
availability, neighborhood opposition, overnight site security, and case
management capacity.
2. Opportunities:
a. Behavioral Health Partnership: A potential partnership with the County’s
Behavioral Health Department to provide Licensed Psychiatric Technicians
to be paired with the CAT and MCU would allow for more effective outreach
and treatment for unhoused individuals.
b. Regional Safe Parking Model: The City will continue to advocate for a
regional safe parking model to be implemented by the County. The New
Beginnings Safe Parking Shelter and Rapid Rehousing Program11 in Santa
Barbara County serves as an example of a successful regional model.
Pilot Programs: Recommendations & Modifications
1. Add Objective 1, Key Task 5 (New) – “Implement Behavioral Health Partnership
with the County to provide Licensed Psychiatric Technicians to be paired with City
CAT and MCU teams.”
2. Add Objective 2, Key Task 5 (New) – “Proceed to implement the Rotating
Overnight Safe Parking Pilot Program.”
3. Add Objective 2, Key Task 6 (New) – “Advocate for the Couty to implement a
regional overnight safe parking model.”
Funding Opportunities
Goal: Proactively seek funding opportunities to meet localized needs as aligned
with regional goals to prevent and address homelessness.
Funding Opportunities Objective 1: Strategically apply for funding opportunities for
homelessness response in coordination with the County and non-profit partners to secure
funding that may become available through Federal and State, and other sources.

Homekey
In July 2023, the City of SLO, as a co-applicant with People’s Self-Help Housing (PSHH),
applied for grant funding through The California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) Homekey Program.12 In December 2023, the City and PSHH were
awarded a $19.4 million Homekey grant to buy and convert the Motel 6 North, located at
1433 Calle Joaquin in San Luis Obispo, into 75 permanent supportive housing units that
will help reduce and prevent homelessness in the City of SLO.
The Homekey Round 3 grant will fund the Calle Joaquin Homekey Project, which is an
essential part of the City’s Homelessness Strategic Response Plan to provide much -
needed permanent supportive housing units in the City of SLO. Permanent supportive
housing is designed to help people experiencing homelessness or at risk of
homelessness by receiving ongoing support such as case management, mental health
services, education services, life skills training, transportation, and more. People’s Self -
Help Housing will lead development of the project to rehabilitate and convert the Motel 6
North into permanent supportive housing units for key beneficiary groups, including 20
units for chronically homeless individuals or households, 25 units for homeless individuals
or households, and 30 units for homeless youth or youth at -risk of homelessness.
In addition to Homekey grant funding, the County of San Luis Obispo has committed $2.6
million for capital and renovation costs for the Calle Joaquin Homekey Project. The Balay
Ko Foundation has also committed $800,000 in gap funding towards acquisition costs
and Wells Fargo committed $150,000 in Homekey Accelerator Funds. The Housing
Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) committed 60 project-based vouchers for the
permanent supportive housing units and the City of SLO committed $400,000 in
Affordable Housing Funds.
The Calle Joaquin Homekey project leverages local and state funding sources to create
a permanent housing solution in an expedited timeframe. Permanent Supportive Housing
has been identified as a best-practices framework focused on connecting homeless
individuals and families into permanent housing and supporting the efforts of those
individuals and families to maintain their permanent housing through on-site, wraparound
services.
Supportive services for the Calle Joaquin Homekey project will be provided by the 5Cities
Homeless Coalition for the 30 youth units and by the PSHH Supportive Housing Program
for the remaining 45 units. All units are proposed to be restricted to 30% area median
income and below.
Housing placements for Calle Joaquin Homekey will be facilitated th rough the
Coordinated Entry System, and the project will provide needed capacity for permanent
supportive housing placements for service providers countywide. Emergency shelters
such as 40 Prado HSC are only effective if there is a throughput for permanent housing
placements, and the Calle Joaquin Homekey project will substantially increase the
12 Homekey Program, Notice of Funding Availability, Round 3

Item 7b
availability of permanent supporting housing units in the City’s housing continuum, as
discussed in the March 5, 2024 City Council Study Session13.
This strategic funding opportunity serves as an example of effective collaboration
between the City, County, and State to prevent and address homelessness. The City and
PSHH were able to leverage Homekey funding to secure additional funding sources to
make the project viable. Construction is scheduled to start in the summer of 2024.
Funding Opportunities Objective 2: Support efforts to establish emergency, transitional,
and permanent supportive housing for key beneficiary groups including chronically
homeless individuals, medically vulnerable individuals, and families.
Implementation Updates
Welcome Home Village
On July 11, 2023, the County of San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors unanimously
accepted $13.4 million in Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) from the State of
California Interagency Council on Homelessness to address encampments along the Bob
Jones Bike Trail in San Luis Obispo and develop a supportive housing site.
The ERF partnership is a strategic collaboration between the County, City, Dignity Moves,
and Good Samaritan Shelter, with the City providing encampment outreach and
enforcement to address health and safety concerns along the Bob Jones Bike Trail
encampment corridor. Existing Homelessness Response Field Team staff will collaborate
with Good Samaritan and the County on encampment outreach efforts and the City will
support the County and Dignity Moves with the development of the Welcome Home
Village project.
13 March 5, 2024, City Council Study Session – Housing Needs and Opportunities
Page 279 of 747
Item 7b
Similar to the Calle Joaquin Homekey project, the County’s Welcome Home Village
project will provide vital interim supportive and permanent supportive housing units within
the City of SLO.
The Welcome Home Village is proposed to provide 46 permanent supportive housing
units and 34 interim supportive housing units, serving individuals who are transitioning
out of homelessness and into long term housing. Per the ERF award, priority placement
for the Welcome Home Village will be provided for individuals currently living in the Bob
Jones Bike Trail Encampment Corridor.
On-site services and program management for the Welcome Home Village will be
provided by Good Samaritan Shelter, including individualized case management, access
to basic medical care, mental health assessments, substance abuse treatment services,
wellness activities, education and self-improvement opportunities, job readiness training,
and preparation for permanent housing placement.
Supportive housing solutions like the Welcome Home Village are a critical component in
the City and County’s strategic plans to prevent and address homelessness. This project
will complement existing services and provide crucial interim supportive housing and
services that do not currently exist in the City of SLO.
The funding opportunity is another example of effective collaboration between the City,
County, and State to address encampments and de velop interim and permanent
supportive housing. Construction is scheduled to start in summer 2024.
On May 8, 2024, the City’s Planning Commission made a General Plan Conformity
determination for the Welcome Home Village project14. The Planning Commission
unanimously voted to adopt Resolution No. PC-1084-2415 determining General Plan
conformance for the purposes of developing interim and supportive housing.
On May 21, 2024, the County of San Luis Obispo’s Board of Supervisors approved the
Welcome Home Village (WHV) project, located at the corner of Johnson Ave. and Bishop
St. in the City of San Luis Obispo. The Board of Supervisors’ approval included
authorizing the Director of the Department of Social Services to execute the Subrecipient
Agreement with the City of San Luis Obispo, which was brought to City Council for
approval on June 4, 2024.
The term of the agreement will commence on the effective date when executed by the
City and County, and will terminate on March 31, 2027, unless the scope of work is
completed prior to that date or unless terminated for other causes.
Funding Opportunities Objective 3: Engage in efforts to leverage resources to develop a
more robust regional service delivery system.

Item 7b
Implementation Updates
Homelessness Response staff regularly attend and participate in the County’s Homeless
Services Oversight Committee (HSOC), including the Services Coordinating, Housing,
and Finance & Data sub-committees. Through those forums, City staff advocate for
regional collaboration and funding priorities, in alignment with the goals and objectives
outlined in the Homelessness Response Strategic Plan.
City staff have also had the opportunity to meet with representatives of the County’s
Citizens Homeless Accountability Commission to share insights, priorities, and
challenges regarding implementation of the Countywide Plan to Address Homelessness.
Funding Opportunities: Challenges & Opportunities
1. Challenges:
a. State Funding: Availability of permanent, ongoing funding from the State to
develop and sustain housing initiatives, comprehensive programs, and
supportive services is an ongoing challenge. The City of SLO is proactively
collaborating with the County and local housing and homeless services
providers to implement programs and projects to address homelessness, but
ongoing funding is needed to sustain homelessness response efforts.
b. Local Funding: Leveraging local funds for capital and operational costs to make
interim and permanent supportive housing projects feasible also poses
challenges due to limited resource availability to support countywide services
and projects. Funding from the City’s General Fund is currently allocated for
ongoing homelessness response efforts, however additional local funding
sources are needed to sustain and expand service and housing capacity.
c. Community Opposition: One of the challenges to successful implementation of
funding opportunities is community opposition to the development of new
interim and permanent supportive housing projects, as well as safe parking
programming. Community engagement is important to the success of the City’s
homeless services programs and funding opportunities; however, community
concerns regarding safety and operational impacts to neighborhoods can
challenge the implementation of new programs and projects.
2. Opportunities:
a. CAPSLO Family Shelter: In November 2022, CAPSLO was awarded a Bezos
Day 1 Families Fund grant to increase shelter and service capacity to support
families experiencing homelessness. Utilizing the Bezos grant funding,
CAPSLO purchased the property at 46 Prado Road, adjacent to the current 40
Prado Homeless Services Center. CAPSLO’s goal is to expand their campus
by building a family-exclusive shelter. This opportunity will create additional
capacity for 40 Prado HSC and aligns with the City’s funding opportunity goals.
b. State Funding: In collaboration with the County and regional partners, the City
will continue to monitor and evaluate State funding opportunities that align with
priorities established by the Homelessness Response Strategic Plan and
Countywide Plan to Address Homelessness.
Page 281 of 747
Item 7b
Funding Opportunities: Recommendations & Modifications
1. Add Objective 1, Key Task 5 (New) – “Seek funding for homelessness prevention
pilot programs.”
2. Add Objective 3, Key Task 4 (New) – “Participate in and support the strategic
planning process for CAPSLO and 40 Prado HSC.”
Next Steps
The recommended modifications for the 2024 -26 Homelessness Response Strategic
Plan are incorporated into the draft plan, which is included as Attachment G. Once
approved, staff will continue the ongoing implementation of key tasks and objectives
outlined in the plan. Staff will also incorporate any necessary funding updates into the
2025-27 Financial Plan.
Staff will continue to provide status reports on implementation of the Strategic Plan, with
an update for the next two-year plan tentatively scheduled for June 2026.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
On November 16, 2021, Council received a presentation from the Homelessness
Response Manager on their activities to date and provided direction on developing a
strategic plan with a continuous implementation methodology and five key components
(1. Data, 2. Communications, 3. Pilot Programs, 4. Regional Collaboration and
Engagement and 5. Funding Opportunities).
On June 20, 2022, Council received a presentation from County staff on Homelessness
Response Regional Collaboration and provided feedback on the draft Countywide
Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness.
On September 20, 2022, Council held a study session to review the strategic vision,
proposed outcomes, and outreach plan for the City’s Homelessness Response Strategic
Plan. Council feedback from that study session informed the implementation of key
stakeholder feedback sessions and the creation of the prop osed strategic plan
framework, in alignment with the Countywide Plan.
On February 7, 2023, Council held a second study session to review the Homelessness
Response Strategic Plan Framework. Council feedback from that study session informed
the final version of the Strategic Plan.
On March 21, 2023, Council held a public hearing and adopted the City’s first
Homelessness Response Strategic Plan.
Public Engagement
Homelessness is an issue that touches every part of the community from personal
wellbeing to public safety and environmental impact. As such, community feedback has
been a vital component in shaping and implementing the City’s Homelessness Response
Strategic Plan.
Page 282 of 747
Item 7b
As directed by Council at the September 20, 2022 City Council meeting, City staff
facilitated strategic stakeholder engagement activities in the Fall of 2022 including key
stakeholder feedback sessions, an online community survey, and individual surveys with
unsheltered and unhoused individuals to incorporate their lived experience and valuable
insight into the strategic plan. From December 2023 to March 2024, a follow up online
community survey and individual surveys with unsheltered and unhoused individuals
were conducted to evaluate and inform the Strategic Plan implementation. Attachments
B and C summarize the Online Community Survey and Unhoused and Unsheltered
Survey findings.
In addition to the community surveys, City staff have also facilitated ongoing engagement
opportunities with key stakeholders to inform the implementation of the key tasks in the
Strategic Plan, as outlined in the implementation updates.
CONCURRENCE
The City has established an internal communications structure that relies on three key
groups: 1) Field Operations, 2) Technical Specialist Group, and 3) Steering Committee,
to streamline communications and establish concurrence on City policies and procedures
that directly impact those experiencing homelessness. All policies and procedures are
vetted by the Steering Committee, which is comprised of leadership from City
Administration, City Attorney’s Office, Community Development Department, Police
Department, Fire Department, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the recommended
actions in this report because the actions do not constitute a “Project” under CEQA
Guidelines Section 15378. Implementation of projects included in the plan will be
evaluated to determine if any of its components require environmental review under
CEQA prior to implementation.

For 2023-25, the Homelessness Response Program includes funding for staff,
communications materials, and contract services, including CAPSLO operations and
programs such as the Hotel Voucher Program and 40 Prado Safe Parking.
The Strategic Plan update report and minor recommended modifications to integrate into
the 2024-2026 Strategic Plan do not require funding from the City at this time. The work
efforts to implement objectives and key tasks outlined in the Homelessness Response
Strategic Plan have been budgeted for, however, there are programs included in the plan
that may require additional funding in the future in response to evolving needs.
ALTERNATIVES
If the City Council does not have sufficient information to provide direction to staff,
or if additional time is needed for discussion, the Council can continue
consideration of the item to a future meeting. If the City Council decides to continue
the meeting, direction should be provided to staff on any additional information needed to
complete the discussion. Staff recommends Council receive and file status of the 20 22-
2024 Homelessness Response Strategic Plan implementation updates and provide
direction regarding any further modifications to be incorporated into the 2024-2026
Strategic Plan.

Progress Updates
I. Regional Collaboration & Engagement
Objective 2: Strengthen relationships with key stakeholders to create alignment,
accountability, and opportunities for resource sharing and collaboration.
A. CAPSLO
As one of the leading homeless services providers in the City of SLO, CAPSLO is a key
partner in the City’s homelessness response efforts. City staff collaborate closely with
CAPSLO staff to support the organization’s ongoing operations and capacity buildi ng
efforts for 40 Prado Homeless Services Center, including the Housing Focused Shelter,
Night-by-Night Shelter, 40 Prado Safe Parking, and Warming Center programs.
In FY23-24, the City provided $238,826 for 40 Prado Homeless Services Center
operational support, capacity expansion, hotel vouchers, safe parking, and warming
center costs. The City also provided 9,000 in-kind bus tokens for SLO transit at a value
of $14,000 for CAPSLO to provide for client transportation needs.
City staff and leadership meet monthly with CAPSLO staff and leadership to discuss
capacity building needs, funding priorities, and strategic planning efforts.
B. Downtown SLO Partnership
The City continues to provide annual funding for the Downtown Ambassador program,
which is administered by Downtown SLO. The Downtown SLO Ambassadors work to
ensure that the 24-block service area downtown is clean, safe, and welcoming to visitors.
In 2023, Downtown SLO Ambassadors worked over 3,000 hours, removing 4,809 pounds
of trash and performing 637 wellness checks on unhoused individuals.
Downtown SLO partners with CAPSLO to provide a part-time case manager to connect
unhoused individuals with services and housing. CAPSLO provides 12 -18 hours of
dedicated outreach downtown on a weekly basis. The City’s Community Service Officers
provide additional enforcement support for the Downtown Ambassadors who report
potential dangers or active emergency situations to the police, fire department, or
emergency services.
Homelessness Response Staff attend Quarterly Downtown Environment Committee
meetings to share homelessness response updates with Downtown SLO staff, downtown
businesses, service providers, and regional partners. Homelessness Response Staff also
meet on a bi-monthly basis with Downtown SLO staff to discuss priorities, project and
program updates, and partnership opportunities.
C. Downtown Business Outreach
The Homeless Response Team, paired with SLOPD’s Community Service Officers,
conducted outreach to Downtown businesses to provide resources relating to the City of
Page 285 of 747
SLO’s Homelessness Response efforts. Over the course of 6 different outreach days,
between 11/16/23 and 2/1/24, City staff visited 167 businesses in the downtown area. A
comprehensive list of businesses was provided through our partners at Downtown SLO,
who also highlighted businesses with prioritized outreach needs due to consistent issues
with the unhoused population.
While conducting outreach, the Homelessness Response and CSO team distributed a
contact sheet which provided businesses with the City’s emergency and non-emergency
Police Dispatch information, information on the City’s outreach and response teams, ways
to report issues through the AskSLO app, contact information for the Homelessness
Response team, and an attached copy and link for the 602 Trespassing Form, should
businesses choose to take this action. City staff also distributed a total of 182 Homeless
Resource Pocket Guides, which outlines various resources in the City of SLO for
individuals experiencing homelessness. The Resource Guides were provided to ensure
that businesses are aware of available resources and to empower them with information
to connect unhoused community members with services.
City staff shared a verbal overview of the information included on the contact sheet and
resource guides during the business outreach and provided a space for business owners
and staff to ask additional questions or provide feedback. The overwhelming major ity of
businesses were grateful for the City’s intentional outreach and were appreciative for the
resources provided.
Concerns that were highlighted by business owners and staff included transient loitering
on or around the business property and slow response times when requesting support
from SLOPD’s Non-Emergency Dispatch.
City staff followed up to address any outstanding issues. Additional feedback from
business owners will be incorporated into the City’s ongoing homelessness response and
outreach efforts.
D. Faith Community Stakeholder Meetings
Since January 2023, City staff have convened monthly meetings with faith community
stakeholders to discuss homelessness response priorities, share resources, and
collaborate on community partnerships. Over 20 congregations and community
organizations participate in the monthly stakeholder meetings, including CAPSLO,
TMHA, and the Salvation Army.
One area of focus for the Faith Community Stakeholder Group has been the development
of a Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Program model in partnership with the City and
CAPSLO. Faith Community partners have played a critical role in shaping the vision,
structure, and implementation strategy for the safe parking program. Over 10
congregations have presented the Rotating Overnight Safe Parking Program partnership
to their Board of Directors and members for consideration. Three congregations have
currently volunteered to serve as potential host sites once the program is ready for
implementation.
Page 286 of 747
Additionally, the Homelessness Response Manager has spoken at several congregations
and interfaith events to raise awareness for the City’s Homelessness Response efforts,
share resources, and provide information and updates on the Rotating Overnight Safe
Parking Program and other initiatives.
E. TMHA
City staff participated in the Transitions-Mental Health Association (TMHA) Community
Resource Fair in December 2023, providing Homeless Resources Pocket Guides for
unhoused community members. The Resource Fair was held at the Library Community
Room and featured over 20 regional service providers and services including hot meals,
haircuts, donated coats, wound care and on-site blood tests.
The City and TMHA are currently collaborating to co-host a second Community Resource
Fair which is scheduled for Friday, June 21, from 9am -12pm at the Library Community
Room. Service Providers will potentially include: Access Support Network, CAPSLO,
County Department of Social Services, County Behavioral Health - Drug and Alcohol,
DMV, Good Samaritan Shelter Ekerd Connects, HASLO, People’s Self-Help Housing,
Shower the People, SLO Bangers, SLO Food Bank, and others as available.
F. San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority
Homelessness Response Staff have also met with SLO Regional Transit Authority (RTA)
leadership to discuss regional priorities and opportunities for further collaboration
regarding homelessness response efforts. The Homelessness Response Manager and
SLOPD participated in a discussion with RTA Supervisors to understand their priority
concerns and issues, and to provide context and resources to ensure the safety of their
drivers and riders. The Homelessness Response Manager also met with RTA
Maintenance staff to similarly address questions and concerns and provide
homelessness response resources.
II. Communications
Objective 1: Increase homelessness response communications.
Annual Homelessness Response Forum
The City of SLO, in collaboration with the County, service providers, and other regional
partners have committed to co-facilitating an annual community forum focused on
homelessness and local response resources. The objective of the forum is to raise
awareness, foster dialogue, and provide resources for addressing homelessness in our
community. The Homelessness Response Forum will be held on June 5th, 2024, at the
Ludwick Community Center and will include an overview of the City’s response actions
and protocols, as well as a panel discussion from community partners who will answer
questions and concerns regarding regional efforts to address homelessness. Once the
panel discussion is complete, attendees will have an opportunity to visit tables set up by
Page 287 of 747
service providers to learn more about each organization and the resources, services, and
programs they provide.
Staff are hoping to engage the business community, service providers, advocates, and
community members who may have questions or want more information regarding this
complex issue. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the City and
County’s strategic plans to prevent and address homelessness, as well as resources
available to them as concerned citizens and how and when to utilize them.
Homeless Resource Pocket Guides
To ensure our unhoused community members have up to date information on where they
can access needed resources and services, the City of SLO created a Homeless
Resources Pocket Guide to distribute to individuals in the community. These 2”x4”
foldable pamphlets provide information on where an individual can access shelter
services, food, showers, and other services pertinent to their situation. The guides also
feature a map of the City’s transit system. Staff regularly distribute these to individuals
experiencing homelessness, as well as other service providers including CAPSLO,
TMHA, Shower the People, The Salvation Army, and faith community partners.
In 2023, the Pocket Guides were updated and translated into Spanish to provide a more
inclusive resource. Staff also created a poster version of the guide, in English and
Spanish, which was distributed to service providers to be posted in their physical
locations. Posters were provided for the SLO County Library branch in Downtown SLO,
40 Prado Homeless Services Center, The Salvation Army, and several faith community
partners.
Staff continually track updates that need to be made to the Pocket Guides, including
updated hours of services as well as additional resources that have been developed. Staff
will update the guides on an annual or bi-annual basis based on demand and funding
availability.
AskSLO
AskSLO is a community engagement platform used by the City of San Luis Obispo to
connect community members to City services and information. Citizens are able to report
or request issues around a variety of topics, including homelessness, transient
encampments in Parks or Roadways, Creeks or Open spaces, and private property. As
of late September 2022, the Homelessness Response Team, Public Works, Parks & Rec,
and Code Enforcement staff have responded to 276 requests for transient encampments
and 21 requests for general Homelessness inquiries.
In January 2024, the Homelessness Response Team transitioned to take over responding
to inquiries for transient encampments in Park/Roadways and Creek/Open Space.
Homelessness Response staff receive the AskSLO requests and coordinate with
appropriate teams involved in the outreach and cleanup process, including the CAT,
MCU, Public Works, and Ranger Services teams. Once outreach has been conducted
and any cleanup needs are addressed, Homelessness Response staff provide updates
Page 288 of 747
to the requestor.
The AskSLO platform has been an effective tool for community engagement regarding
homelessness issues. Requests not only bring attention to locations that need trash or
debris removal, but also provide a starting point for our MCU and CAT outreach teams to
connect with unhoused individuals and begin to build trusting relationships. It has also
been an helpful resource for identifying recurring encampment areas and/or locations that
accumulate excess trash and debris.
Outlined below is the Homeless Response Field Team workflow that dictates the AskSLO
process for requests involving inhabited and uninhabited encampments:
Community Surveys
Online Community Survey
In the Fall of 2022, community feedback was collected through an online survey that
helped inform and shape the City’s Strategic Plan. On December 19, 2023, staff released
a 15-question follow up survey on the Open Town Hall platform to re-engage the
community to provide valuable insight, feedback, and prioritization of resources to inform
the City’s ongoing homelessness response efforts. The survey was open for public
participation through January 15, 2024, and 366 responses were received from
community members.
The survey was shared with all City employees, County staff, Downtown SLO members,
housing and homeless services providers, activists, faith community partners, and the
Page 289 of 747
wider community. Survey information was shared via the City’s website, social media
channels, City news, and direct emails to key stakeholders. The intention of the annual
community survey is to better discern trends, awareness of existing programs and
resources, and effectiveness of City programs.
Key survey findings are highlighted below, and a full summary of survey responses is
included in Attachment B.
Demographically, approximately two thirds of individuals who responded to the survey
were residents of the City of SLO, and about the same percentage were also employed
within the City. These results were consistent with 2022 survey results. About 88% of
respondents stated they witness individuals experiencing homelessness daily, versus
84% encountering individuals daily when previously surveyed.
Staff also asked participants which City-funded services they had heard of. The majority
of answers highlighted 40 Prado Homeless Services Center and its services as the main
service they are aware of, followed by Shower the People, and the City of SLO’s M CU &
CAT teams. 10% more respondents had heard of 40 Prado HSC compared to the 2022
survey, and almost 20% more respondents had heard of the City of SLO’s CAT and MCU
outreach teams.
Staff incorporated a new question for the 2023 survey to gauge the support from
community members on permanent supportive housing placements in their
neighborhoods. The responses were split between community members in support of
new permanent supportive housing developments in their neighborhood and those
opposed.
Common reasoning for those in favor were varied. Some respondents already live near
similar models and saw them as successful and others felt they already had unhoused
individuals living in encampments in their neighborhood, so a new housing development

would be a welcome change from unsanctioned encampments. Many also felt housing
was a human right and that the housing first model has proven to be effective, based off
their personal research. Some sympathized as they already felt finding housing was hard
for themselves, so could only imagine the difficulty for an unhoused individual.
Those who were in opposition of permanent supportive housing in their neighborhood
highlighted concerns over safety and security, as well as potential increased crime in their
neighborhood. Some individuals felt those experiencing drug addiction or mental illness
would not be a good fit in residential neighborhoods; follow-up comments to this included
possible support if the development was instead located in an industrial neighborhood.
Staff additionally asked survey participants for their opinion on prioritization of services
by allotting 10 dots between six different types of programs. Respondent allocations did
not lean heavily to one program or another, indicating a broad need for expansion of all
types of services.
Unhoused Surveys
In the Fall of 2022, individual surveys were also administered to unhoused individuals to
gain a better understanding of the lived experiences of unhoused individuals. To provide
a platform for unhoused community members to again share their perspectives to be
included in the City’s Strategic Plan update, Homelessness Response staff administered
40 surveys to individuals at varying locations, including 40 Prado HSC, Shower the
People, the weekly BMW BBQ, and in Downtown SLO between December 19, 2023, to
March 20, 2024. All participants were provided a gift card incentive for participating in the
survey. Perspectives from 18 individuals living in vehicle s, 16 individuals experiencing
unsheltered homelessness, and 6 individuals experiencing sheltered homelessness (all
at 40 Prado HSC) were collected in this round of surveys. Length of time experiencing
homelessness varied amongst those surveyed, with some having lived on the street for
a few weeks or months, to others who had been unhoused for over a decade.

Participants were asked about services they are already engaging in versus what
additional homeless assistance services they feel are needed in San Luis Obispo. The
common services individuals were already utilizing included CalFresh benefits, Shower
the People, SSI or SSDI, and General Assistance. Utilized services did not vary widely
from 2022 survey results.
Ideas for additional or supplemental resources survey participants were wanting to see
included housing support and navigation, dental care, more mental health services, free
bus fare and laundry services for homeless individuals. Many survey participants also
noted the lack of public restrooms within the City. For those living unsheltered, public
restrooms are a vital resource for health and sanitation, and survey participants
advocated for additional public restrooms being made available in key locations
throughout the City. Survey participants experiencing vehicular homelessness
additionally highlighted the need for areas for them to safely park, as many were on the
waiting list for the 40 Prado Safe Parking Program and had nowhere to safely park
overnight until admitted to the program.
III. Data
Objective 1: Utilize a shared data platform.
Survey123 App
Survey123 is a tool through ArcGIS that was created in-house by City staff, with training
provided for Homelessness Response field staff. Over the past year, the app has been
used to document encampments within City limits to direct outreach and cleanup ef forts.
Using the “Homeless Camp Survey” feature on the app, field staff are able to pinpoint the
exact location of an encampment that requires outreach and cleanup. The app features
color coordination for designated jurisdictions; purple highlighted areas are designated to
Public Works, green highlighted areas are designated to Parks and Rec, Orange
highlighted areas are Caltrans jurisdiction, and locations outside of those designations
are private property. These features help field staff determine jurisdiction for
encampments to ensure they are working within their jurisdiction on City property.
Field staff also use this tool to upload pertinent information about the encampment,
including whether the camp is inhabited or abandoned. Photos of the camp and cleanup
notices that are left on site with the inhabitant(s) or within the camp perimeter are also
uploaded via the app for documentation.
Survey123 allows multiple users to input information, which assists with coordination
between various Homelessness Response departments including Public Works, Parks &
Rec, SLOPD, and the Fire Department. Once an initial location is posted, CAT and MCU
outreach staff are able to utilize these the data points to conduct and document outreach
and service referrals, if an individual is receptive to services.
Page 292 of 747
To date in FY23-24, City staff have addressed 130 encampments, resulting in 153,590
pounds of trash being removed. Encampment noticing, outreach, and cleanup efforts are
documented using the Survey123 app.
Homelessness Response staff continue to monitor the effectiveness of the Survey123
platform to ensure effective utilization for field staff. Any needed modifications are made
in collaboration with the City’s GIS team.

HMIS
The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is an information sharing
technology system used to collect client level data and data on the provision of housing
and services to individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness1.
Currently, the City of SLO does not hold a license for the SLO County HMIS, despite
continued advocacy for the City becoming an HMIS-participating agency. Access to this
system would allow City outreach staff with the CAT and MCU teams to input outreach
and referral activities they are facilitating in the field as well as view client data for
individuals they are working to connect with services and housing. Currently, City staff do
not have access to that information which creates a barrier for effective outreach and
service referrals. With access to HMIS, City outreach staff would have the ability to view
the programs and services individuals are already engaged with, or have previously
engaged with, to enable them to make more informed referrals for services, treatment,
shelter, and housing.
Homelessness Response staff have met with the County’s Homeless Services Division
to discuss HMIS integration and staff will continue to advocate via the HSOC Data and
11 https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/hmis/

Finance Committee.
Octavia
A Community Information Exchange platform, Octavia, is also being utilized by regional
healthcare providers and the County’s Public Health Department to coordinate client care
coordination between entities. The intended goal for the Community Information
Exchange is to connect multidisciplinary network partners on an integrated technology
platform to deliver enhanced community care planning for individuals with complex
medical needs, including people experiencing homelessness. The Octavia platform was
developed in partnership with the software company, Mastodon, LLC.
The City is currently in the process of reviewing a MOU that would allow Homelessness
Response field staff to utilize Octavia for their outreach and referral efforts.

Question 14
I do not live in the city of slo and the city I do live in has some kind of
temporary housing. What I am noticing is there are a lot of unhoused
loitering around that temporary housing that would not normally be there.
Their unkempt, mentally unstable, drug added presence around
businesses deters me from shopping in those areas. I do not want to fall
victim to one of their mental outbursts or physical violence.

No, not without 24hr security & rules. The issue is many of the homeless
enjoy their lifestyle, they are held to no rules and they know this, zero
responsibility placed on them. There has been a boat load of money spent
on this issues and it keeps getting worse. This seems to be the 4th or 5th
type of survey from a new person in-charge with grand ideas that well
result in nothing, just saying more money is needed. Please stop wasting
money and time on an issue that does not want to be fixed.

Absolutely. Case management and accountability combines with stability
and supportive services works for long-term success, as well as in the
short term to keep individuals experiencing homelessness, trauma,
mental health and addiction issues safe and to enhance quality of life and
both the perception and reality of safety in the community as a whole
safe. There needs to be a focus on root cause issues - get people
housed/sheltered, get them services and set expectations for conduct
and accountability that are monitored and enforced regularly via case
management, behavioral health and/or court oversight.

affects the surrounding businesses and residences. 40 Prado
exemplifies this.

Question 14
Yes, because some people need help and would not be able to support
themselves. I think it would be a better and cost-effective long-term
solution to have them placed in a permanent housing project to receive
support instead of living on the streets with no support and guidance.
Having them stay on the streets would not help them or the community.

Question 14
Yes. The arguments against facilities are just random thoughts. Lots of
“could” cause problems. Just because people can say something could or
might be a problem doesn’t make it reality. Homeless people are
generally non-violent. Would like to see if statistics back that up.
We need permanent housing with services and constant supervision.

Yes, they definitely need help with these types of services. Especially

Question 14
I would support a permanent supportive housing with support services to
unhoused members of the community. I would recommend a vetting
process for individuals who enter these housing opportunities though. If
subsidized with public funds, I would like to see restrictions on allowing
individuals who are under the influence of alcohol/drugs not to be
admitted to these facilities. Individuals would need to be sober at the time
of their admittance, and the facility would need to promote sobriety for
the duration the individual is housed there. I would also like to see
transparency for events that happen in these facilties to show more
accountability in the organizations that run them.
Adding a variety of support services would also be beneficial to the
community. Having only one service support unit in the city might not
benifitical as they can become easily overwhelmed and not be able to
provide good/consistant support to individuals and leave a bad
impression of certain members. Having a choice on what service provider
might provide more options for individuals.
Lastly, I would like to emphasize again accountability. Accountability for
both the services providers and the unhoused is key to addressing this
crisis.

Question 14
No. I currently reside next to a sober living house (Gryphon Home). The
amount of increased traffic on our street (foot and vehicle), lack of
parking, profane language, second-hand cigarette smoke, can be
intolerable at times. Additionally daily probation department visits and
other emergency related response greatly disrupts an otherwise peaceful
and harmonious street.

Question 11
• Other - “Information” about homeless programs is by and large
functionally useless. Most programs are set up by organizations for PR
and to pat themselves on the bag.
Question 12
• Other - SLO City (and county) has spent millions of dollars on services
to benefit homelessness. The majority of them do not want to or are
incapable of programming. We welcome them here and yet are surprised
when crime goes up & our downtown isn’t safe for kids. (10)

Question 14
Maybe.
There are plenty of areas where this can be done that don't include
established neighborhoods. Housing costs in this area are astronomically
high and residents that pay those prices have high expectations for what
their neighborhood does or does NOT include.
There are plenty of areas that can be converted to mixed use to
accomplish these needs. I see many vacant buildings like Ross, Betty's,
Sears, etc... we should convert those already existing buildings and use
them as resources. This will allow the needs of the unhoused to be met
while not putting them in residential neighborhoods.

Yes. These services are humane and badly needed, they must go
somewhere, and I don't live in the rarified air of SLO Town so I have no
objection to seeing and helping the less fortunate. The situation needs a
proactive approach, not an on-going penal reaction. Sunny Acres should
be expanded and assisted, not assaulted and destroyed.

Question 14
It could be done in local neighborhoods and it would help these people
transmission into society or a normal life setting but it would cause less
problems to the community if there was a dedicated housing complex to
start these people in, it would be more cost effective and easier to
manage. it could be a two step process where after a certain
responsibility, sobriety and income level has been met, they could be
moved to a second phase. In most cases with peoples entitlement
attitudes caused by too many government programs, they may not wan
to work harder to be independent and just continue to live in phase one.

Yes; people in our community deserve a safe place to sleep and begin
developing skills to care for themselves. I’d expect it to be well-
maintained and staffed appropriately, like any other service or business,
and perhaps find ways to community build with the surrounding
neighborhood to reduce stigma.

Question 14
Yes, I would be support permanent supportive housing project in my
neighborhood. I think any opportunity to help this vulnerable community
and make a greater impact should be supported, no matter where it is
located, but especially if the location is logically helpful for the homeless
community (i.e., nearby to other resources and walkable). Also, I do not
live in slo city. I actually live in Atascadero, very close to the ECHO. Having
lived now for a few years in a neighborhood that is frequented by
homeless community, I have seen the helpfulness of the shelter and it's
impacts on our community. There are more positive outcomes of the
shelter and having it located close to other helpful resources, than issues
by living near it.

Question 14
No. I would first want to see a working and proven successful model of
this before funds were allocated to this and more community impacts
occur. We need to stop talking about all homeless as one group. A house
priced at $50,000 or $500,000 are both unattainable for individuals with
severe mental issues and / or drug addiction issues.

I guess if it was done correctly. Right now we give homeless people a lot of
services without holding them accountable for finding a job or keeping our
City clean and safe. They are coming here for a vacation. Meanwhile the
low-income people are working tons just to survive and support their
families and have even less then the transients are getting.

Question 14
Yes, I feel that every individual has the right to be given appropriate care
and safe housing. The mentally ill individual needs more than a 72. True
stabilization and mental health treament require more than a 1 - 3 month
stay in a hospital facility. When a mentally ill individual begins to have a
psychotic break they need immediate interventions and care. If not; they
will decompensate and meds will no longer be as beneficial. Now, you are
left with a psychotic individual on the streets and end up homeless. Then
the individual on the streets with no medication may be violated; have
more trauma, and have severe psychosis.

Question 14
No. Word gets around that these types of services are available and it is a
beacon for all homeless to migrate to this area. The county is already
overloaded from those out of the area. If there are people from this
county who have lost jobs or have had sickness and are now homeless I
don’t have a problem housing them until they get on their feet bit if they
have arrived here in the last couple years because of services and good
weather then send them home

Question 14
Yes. We need a housing first system. Requiring people experiencing
homelessness to "get clean" and participate in treatment when they're
living on the street is an unreasonable ask. If someone doesn't know
where they'll sleep tonight, or when they'll get their next meal, it's nearly
impossible for them to focus on longer-term goals.

Question 14
Yes, as long as people were clear to be around schools for the safety of
both the people in housing and the children. I live in close proximity to two
schools. SLO City needs housing. In order to achieve the plan to reduce
homelessness in the county or city by 50% there is enough need for all
types of affordable housing, that includes permanent supportive housing
and workforce housing. Otherwise, the homeless will either be on the
streets or in a temporary shelter and what happens when those are full
because there is no permanent affordable housing options?

Question 14
It is already here. My daughter rents a county-subsidized house in the city
of SLO. She did Drug Court 3 times, lost her child once, and the county
gave her a "free pass" on completing a "mandated" drug program.
The majority of the women I saw in her safe house have ADHD issues.

Question 14
No. I feel that the tax paying citizens are always asked to carry the burden
in many aspects. I believe that the city of slo totally caters to these people
and projects much beyond other types of projects. The thing that bothers
me the most is the lack of respect and concern for environmental issues
which include both the surrounding populations and the trashing of both
public and private property.

No. We already have a new project being built in our neighborhood. We

me or made me feel insecure in their presence. They need housing,
treatment, and a path out of homelessness.

Question 14
Yes. This is the only real, practical solution to the homelessness problem.
Numerous other counties have demonstrated this. The provision of
housing will vastly reduce other related issues of homelessness
(vagrancy, drug use, environmental impacts) and the need for many of
the services currently employed to address the consequences of
homelessness.

Question 13

2. Development of skilled nursing facilities for low-income individuals
Question 14
Yes. Contrary to popular belief, unhoused individuals are humans. All
humans should have the right to a home where they can rebuild their
lives.
Take Finland, for example. The entire country of Finland gives the
unhoused financial aid, housing, and helps them get back on their feet.
Over the last thirty years, this has only benefitted the decline of the
homeless population. Instead of them “using it to buy drugs and alcohol,”
the unhoused used their opportunities to build a new life again.

Question 14
Yes, long term subsidized housing would allow members of the unhoused
community who are ready and willing to make changes in their lives
somewhere to go to get the support needed to transition away from
homelessness. Mental health services and substance abuse treatment
are top priority. There would likely be a need for more social workers and
healthcare professionals to move to the area to support such an
operation. More reasonably affordable housing would need to be made
available to those caretakers as well.

Question 14
I'm a huge proponent for permanent supportive housing and believe it is
the only way to move the needle on permanently assisting the unhoused.
If a project were proposed in my neighborhood, I wouldn't oppose it if it
didn't negatively impact street parking and if it didn't change the look and
feel of the neighborhood. For example, in my neighborhood, all the homes
were built in the 19050s and are single-story, single family. If a project
was proposed that would put 4 homes on 1 lot that was previously
occupied by 1 home, and the buildings were 2 stories and the residents
were expected to park on the street, I would be opposed. But if the
project remodeled an existing home and it was well-cared for and didn't
have a lot of cars parked on the street for the staff providing the
supportive services, then I wouldn't have an issue with it, assuming the
residents were quiet and respectful, which I assume they would be.

I believe there are already 2 such properties within a half mile of my home,

I think more are needed, but perhaps distributed to other areas of the
city.

We have a subsidized low income housing complex being built in our

unleashed large dogs and screaming at all hours. They also break into the
unoccupied house next to us every few months. Yes housing would be
better than what's going on.

Question 14
No, because our city is already doing a poor job of managing the
homeless situation and how it hurts the tax paying residents and visitors.
I feel the city by their actions or lack of actions has actually help increase
the homeless population. The city does not need to spend more money on
solving or the homeless situation. Instead the city needs to do more with
less employees, less days off, less payt like the privately employed
residents are doing. Think outside the box!

Ideally not, since it brings people struggling with mental health/drug

ultimately support it if it were that was the difference in it getting built or
not built

Yes, if these people had the security of housing they would then be able to
tackle other obstacles such as mental health or addiction. The hierarchy
of needs is a thing for a reason. A person cannot grow or change when
they are in the survival state and sadly that is the state they are in when
homeless.

Question 14
Yes, the problem is with the programs most of the time. The requirements
for most if not all of the programs are too strict, don't show any room for
error. Most of these people have had to live like animals for some time.
Adjusting back in to living "house trained" is a bit of a culture shock. I've
been housed for over a year, and I sneak a smoke in my no smoking
apartment frequently. I understand the need for rules and why they need
to be followed, but some things you get used to in life are more difficult to
break than one might think. To lose your only grip on something so
important as shelter of your own space over something so small is only
harming the person that really needs the hand up out of the Dumpster,
and just forcing the vicious cycle to start all over again. (If the person
makes it through without giving up completely)

Question 14
It depends. The railroad parking had a lot of secondary negative impacts
on our neighborhood. Word spread that ANYWHERE in the vicinity of the
railroad lot was ok to park (regardless of following rules, utilizing services
etc.). Persons traveling by train were reluctant to park in the lot with the
car repair projects, drug deals etc. so they started parking in neighboring
neighborhoods. I would be concerned that persons utilizing a supporting
housing project would want to "share their good fortune" with others not
interested in case management and the neighborhood would suffer.

Question 14
I would support this. We already have section 8 housing in our
neighborhood that some of the tenants are causing problems because
they are not being treated for their mental health issues or case managed.
It is a rotating door because those who are placed without case
management do not know how to manage their money and keep the
housing. I have seen people get housed and lose that housing multiple
times. This is a waste of resources doing it that way. I think that part of
getting a voucher should be that the recipient has a case manager,
medical care team, and job training along with life skills training. The
recipient should show forward movement in order to keep the status of
living in the supportive housing. I also think that those who will receive
this housing and training first should come from SLO County for at least a
certain amount of time since SLO taxes/funding is paying for it. I also
think that we owe our US Veterans.

stigma of being homeless.

Question 14
No. Neighborhood security and peace of mind for parents, grandparents
and children is a major concern. Homeless housing projects should not
be established in or adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Also, state
real estate disclosure laws require that anyone listing their home for sale
MUST disclose any and all material facts that affect the value or
desirability of the property. Having a homeless housing project within or
near a residential neighborhood that serves individuals with mental health
and/or drug addiction issues, etc. would need to be disclosed. This
disclosure would likely reduce desirability and diminish the value of all
nearby homes. Failure to disclose can have serious implications including
voiding a possible sale, and the seller being sued. These types of facilities
can be successfully located in or near lower impact commercial areas, ie,
non-industrial.

Question 14
My immediate neighborhood is all small, single family homes, so that
doesn't seem like the right facility, but I am very near Bishop (near the
probation office) and Laurel/Southwood/Augusta and those streets have
apartment buildings that are appropriate for these types of facilities.
There are also unhoused people who are already living on Augusta. If
there is proper support and case mgmt, I would support it. Also, there is
no other place for this in the survey, but I'm not sure why you're asking
SLO residents to prioritize services, when we are not experts on this.
What is the best evidence-based approach for homelessness? My
understanding is that people should get housing ASAP, regardless of
whether they are sober or not, and that that housing needs to be
supportive. Shelters where someone has to get their stuff and their
person out each night are, in my understanding, not preferred and they're
not that useful. But I guess I would say, do more of what is working! I trust
the professionals who are working with these folks day in and day out.

I don't want to see anymore. It's so upsetting to me. I've contacted
CalTrans when I see an encampment next to a highway. I crochet hats and
scarves for the Showers for People for them to distribute. I donate to SLO

No. I was going to buy a house in a nice safe neighborhood for kids in

inappropriate for our family in this small, noisy apartment. We work very
hard and have been trying to buy a house for twenty years. Overnight
"safe" parking is in no way appropriate in the city limits either. People on
drugs and with severe mental health problems, so bad that they end up on
the streets, should not be wandering around the city. This is a small city
where families live and people want their kids to be able to bike ride, go
out with friends, and be safe.

No. SLO does not have the population to settle and absorb a transient
population into the community without it severely and permanently
altering the quality of life for people who live and work here full time. Even
in larger cities, housing projects like that need to be evenly distributed
across population centers for smooth integration into the larger
community.

Question 14
While I would support this in San Luis Obispo, I would not support it in my
neighborhood. The unfortunate reality of the situation is that supportive
housing projects tend to be a blight on neighborhoods, with concerns for
safety as well as a reduction in property values. Just take a drive past 40
Prado, look at the homeless people camped out on the street and in the
nearby creek, and ask yourself if you'd want that in your own
neighborhood. Any permanent supportive housing should be situated in
City/County buildings in commercial areas of San Luis Obispo, and not in
residential neighborhoods.

Question 14
Yes I support a permanent housing project. I am not sure the effect it
would have on a neighborhood though so hearing feedback from other
communities who have implemented this would be very helpful before
making a decision about location. I live beside Meadow Park which already
has transient people and those experiencing homelessness coming
through, sleeping, and camping near the bathrooms. There are also many
vehicles of those experiencing homelessness who park both around the
park and in the neighboring area on Bridge Street. Would the the close
proximity of housing units lead to a potential increase of people in the
park perhaps who are meeting up with the supportive housed people? I've
only had a few experiences with unhoused people experiencing mental
heath issues but those experiences have changed how I use the park
(areas I will walk in or not) so I have some questions about how the areas
around the housing project are impacted by more parking or higher usage
of the park for example.

5. Development of skilled nursing facilities for low-income individuals
Question 14
Yes, because they are proven to work in our County (as exampled by the
Project Homekey project in Paso Robles and Cabins for Change in Grover
Beach) in terms of getting homeless individuals off the streets
permanently, and with little to no impact on the surrounding
neighborhoods. We need more of these projects, and need to go in places
that makes sense (such as connections to other supportive services,
grocery stores, transit, etc.). That means neighborhoods like mine need
to say "yes" to these types of projects.

Question 14
I already live close to such a development, Bishop Street Commons.
Occasionally there is an outburst from a tenant but for the most part, it
feels like everything is fairly under control. I don't let my grandchildren
play outside by themselves and I have built a tall security fence around
my backyard because I do have a little fear based on some of the
outbursts we've experienced. There are people who are not tenants that
park their vehicles in our neighborhood and spend the night with the
tenants on occasion.

Yes. I assume that "support" will always have a price tag for tax payers. I
think housing and support as described here could focus on people with
children. What if the SLCUSD properties that are underused could be a
site for housing and services? Is the NOOR Foundation providing support
to the homeless population?

revolve around potential impacts on the community's character and
property values. Additionally, as a resident with small children, the
prospect of such a project in close proximity raises concerns about
safety, making us feel uneasy about the potential implications for our
family's well-being. I believe it's essential to explore alternative locations
that can effectively address the needs of the individuals requiring support
while ensuring the safety and comfort of all residents, including those
with young families.

I live downtown, it makes sense for this type of facility to be in a central
location with easy mobility options. However, I think this type of facility
should also provide an avenue for "work" such as weeding, trash pick-up,
etc. Something to tie the individuals to the community, have a sense of
pride of place and belonging.

Yes, but there would need to be adequate parking. Currently, many
vehicles tend to congregate on streets in business parks. Parking in those
streets is critical for the businesses who are located there and lack of
parking impacts them negatively. But there are often empty lots on those
streets that have not been developed. Perhaps the city could lease those
lots and use them for homeless parking.

Yes. I would support transitional and affordable housing as medium and
long term solutions for people who don't want to be on the street and are
down on their luck. There are some people who are homeless in this
county because the cost of living is too high. There needs to be a
movement toward these longer term solutions so there is an avenue to
home people who don't want to be homeless to get off the street. The
issue I see in downtown SLO is that homeless shelters and other short-

term resources appear to make it a destination for folks who appear to
want to live a homeless lifestyle (which is often paired with drug and
alcohol addiction). While I see the need for these short-term resources, I
generally have a negative attitude toward these things because the drug-
addicted, alcoholic folks who have overrun downtown SLO, as they make
me feel extremely unsafe there as a woman. I am daily seeing homeless
individuals who are unstable and unsafe. There is also human waste in
our streets, which is a big problem.

Yes because I live near a low-income apartment complex currently and
affordable long-term housing is one of the needs to combat the
homelessness in SLO City. I think the job training aspect of a project like
this would be especially beneficial but with requirements so that these
individuals will eventually grow their skills and be self-sufficient in the
future. It would also contribute to easing the high demand for permanent
workers in various fields in this area that aren't high school or college
students who will likely leave their job after a year or two.

4. Development of additional treatment facilities
Question 14
This would be welcomed if the individuals would actually use these
facilities to better themselves. Many unhoused are drug addicts and
criminals that make our neighborhoods unsafe and unclean. Those
individuals are causing the problems for the real unhoused people that
will become good citizens. We need those individuals to follow our laws or
leave our city. I do not want to see our town become a slum in some areas.
The trash, bodily fluids and feces are repugnant. It makes our parks, open
spaces and sidewalks unclean and unsafe.

4. Development of additional treatment facilities
5. Development of skilled nursing facilities for low-income individuals
Question 14
If the permanent supportive housing project houses mostly families and
mentally stable individuals, yes. If the permanent supportive housing
project houses many folks with active mental health issues who are
getting help and perhaps working their way back to employment, then I
think that there are areas of the city that a permanent supportive housing
project would be a good fit and areas that would be a not so good fit. I
would prefer that this type of housing project that houses many folks with
active mental health issues not be near an elementary school or a family
neighborhood with a park where young children commonly go to play. I
live in a neighborhood with a park that often is full of children and the
older children are often not accompanied by their parents. Occasionally a
homeless individual visits the park and I see that parents of young kids
are wary of these individuals because they don't know how to know if this
person is "harmless" or struggling/unstable.

Question 14
No. Build a “Hospital” that has parking lots, nurses, case managers, PD,
security, rooms, showers- nursing home but more hospital like… (sierra
Vista would be perfect). Court Mandated they go there but can pick if
they want to live in the parking lot, a room, get help with housing, rehab,
job support….
Gated in. Not prison but only can enter and exist through security.
Need to incorporate trauma informed care and nervous system
regulation- healing with different modalities such as horses, ketamine
therapy, Mandatory rehab.
Also find out which middle class families are trying to help their loved
ones but can barely afford to live and can’t pay taxes and help a loved one
but are struggling to do so…
Many on the verge of homeless. Homeless prevention so to speak…
incentive program that supports ADU’s for struggling loved ones, tax
break if family has some resources to help but have to decide between
which ones.
Also knowing that providing housing isn’t going to make them cure from
the addiction but helps with a safe place… addiction will continue. Need
MUCH more support.

yes. small housing projects need to be dotted throughout the area.
keeping facilities small will help mitigate the problems associated with

Question 14
No, I would not. In my opinion, assuming that individuals are going to give
up bad habits just because they get housing is naive and unrealistic. I
believe that these individuals should be mandated by a court to get
treatment or to be institutionalized into a hospital before they are given a
bunch of resources that they cannot use responsibly. I think that if we are
going to use taxpayer dollars on homelessness, we should only be
investing in things that will definitely work. Giving individuals a slew of
benefits without the ironclad accountability of court-ordered treatment
will only bring more drugs, trash, feces and poverty into our
neighborhoods. Ordinary citizens should not have to risk the value of their
home and the safety of their neighborhood because of weak policies.

No because the problem is not lack of housing. The problem is mental
health issues and addiction issues that keep people on the streets and out
of homes, jobs, relationships. They don't need more handouts; they need
ways to be contributing members to our community.

Question 14
Yes, but only for those with metal heath issues. I would argue that many
of the homeless in this city are here by choice... Many are in one way or
another, homeless due to poor choices, drugs, addition, and even the
desire to live a nomadic lifestyle. A study to understand the % of
homeless by choice (drugs/addiction) or mental illness needs to be
completed. Those with the mental health issues need to be help and
support, and I would support permanent housing for this portion of the
population. Those facing addiction need treatment, and I would support
temp housing for those wishing to get off the street. For those that come
here to exploit the community with a the desire to live a nomadic lifestyle
and cause harm to the community via violations of theft, trespassing,
loitering, littering, and steeling shopping carts, etc, need to be addressed.
I support the expansion of low security prisons, instead of just letting
those individuals move down the street to just repeat the offenses.

Probably. The neighborhood includes a high traffic arterial road and
nearby commercial areas. The homeless are frequently present already
as are other public. A well run facility in high traffic commercial to
residential transitions areas would likely not change the character or

Question 14
I would not mind but I believe the majority of the city of slo would not like
it. I have lived in slo for 29 years and the biggest change I have noticed is
the type of homeless we have. A lot of more drug use amoung the
homeless and much more present. Homeless in the slo was always there
but growing up it felt like the majority of them were just asking for
change/food and not bothering locals. Now it seems to be much more
drug use or schizophrenic which makes me feel less safe and concerned. I
would walk around downtown slo by myself at 10-12 years old, today I
would never let my kids do that.

in turn leads to crime. I do not want more crime in my neighborhood.

drug use which is a choice.

Yes, because if we say we support these changes we need to support
them even when they may impact us indirectly by being a part of our
neighborhood. And because those involved in subsidized housing need

Question 14
No.
I prioritize community safety and believe that people living in the
neighborhood, especially home owners, should have a say in whether or
not they are comfortable with that type of facility close to their homes.
The people within the neighborhood should be given the time and
opportunity to protest, the proposed facility should be required to notify
all persons within a certain radius and publish a notice in the newspaper.
And if they don't get a certain approval percentage the facility will not be
put in that location.

Question 14
No. These projects should be more equitably located through out the city.
As it is now, my neighborhood has been pressured into building more high
density housing projects than any other part of the city except for cal poly
student housing. It’s ALWAYS in my neighborhood. It’s unjust that
housing the unhoused means jamming them into any high density
neighborhood being developed but never in the sprawling suburbs we’re
seeing built across from laguna lake or on Foothill where the developers
couldn’t get their developments built fast enough for students who don’t
have any problem paying $2000 for a single bed in a shared bedroom.

could also be planned for the new Prado Rd. extension near the Damon

I'd support case management, job training. If they can show and willing to
improve, then subsidized housing will help the individual. Some homeless
people choose to be homeless. No sense self responsibility. They prefer to
drink and use drugs substance.

Question 14
Yes. We live between Mitchell Park and the Amtrak Station parking lot
where many houseless people congregate. It would be more conducive for
our neighborhood to have a permanent place for them to go rather than
seeing them drinking, doing drugs and/or passed out in Mitchell Park
where their behavior discourages people from enjoying their park or
camping along the railroad tracks or in the parking lot where they leave
mounds of trash.

Question 14
No of course not. The root of homelessness is not inadequate job training.
The root is substance abuse and mental health disorders, usually in
conjunction of 'which came first'. I support case management, mental
health and substance abuse treatment options all being provided. I also
support providing for homeless folks daily needs, but in a transient
fashion. None of these options should be occurring near residential areas.

Overview
Period Covered by Plan:
July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2026
Adopted by City Council:
March 21, 2023 (Resolution No. 11403)
The City of San Luis Obispo has established preventing and addressing homelessness as a key priority in
alignment with its Major City Goal for Housing and Homelessness and the San Luis Obispo Countywide
Plan to Address Homelessness. The creation of the City’s first Strategic Plan for Homelessness Response,
which was adopted by City Council on March 21, 2023, was central to the work program for the Major City
Goal.
Considering the urgent need to address homelessness in the City, a continuous implementation
methodology was adopted to allow staff to implement elements of the plan as it was being written. City
Council provided direction to focus the strategic plan on five key components:

PROGRESS UPDATES
City staff will report on the progress of the
Homelessness Response Strategic Plan objectives,
key tasks, and outcome measures bi-annually and/
or through Major City Goal reporting.
PLAN UPDATES
The 2024–26 Strategic Plan includes minor
modifications to the objectives and key tasks out-
lined for each key component, as well as updates
to the state and local priorities framework to ensure
the plan’s relevancy, as approved by City Council
on June 18, 2024.

All community members in SLO City are empowered to successfully prevent and address concerns related to homelessness through equitable access to a variety of resources. Periods of unsheltered homelessness within SLO City are reduced due to the regional capacity to conduct timely outreach and connect individuals and families to a range of housing options.
Strategic Vision
The City’s strategic planning efforts
are guided by the following vision:

Homelessness: The Big Picture
NATIONAL FOCUS
According to the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH), homelessness has
been rising nationwide since 2016. For the first time since such data collection began, the number
of unsheltered individuals, or those living in spaces not intended for human habitation (such as
public spaces, cars, and abandoned buildings), outnumbered the number of sheltered individuals
experiencing homelessness nationwide in 2020. As a result, Federal and State funding has increased
to address issues related to homelessness.
The federal government released All In: The Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End
Homelessness1 in December 2022. All In sets an ambitious goal to reduce homelessness 25%
by 2025 and encourages state and local governments to develop their own strategic plans and
objectives using the federal plan as a framework.
The Federal Strategic Plan is built around three ‘foundational pillars’ — equity, data, and
collaboration — and three ‘solution pillars’ — housing and supports, homelessness response,
and prevention. Each pillar includes strategies the federal government will implement to increase
‘availability of and access to housing, economic security, health care, and stability for all Americans’.
The Federal Strategic Plan provides the following assessment on the rise of homelessness in the
United States —
“After steady declines from 2010 to 2016, homelessness in America has been rising, and
more individuals are experiencing it in unsheltered settings, such as encampments. This increase
stems from decades of growing economic inequality exacerbated by a global pandemic, soaring
housing costs, and housing supply shortfalls. It is further exacerbated by inequitable access to
health care, including mental health and/or substance use disorder treatment; discrimination
and exclusion of people of color, LGBTQI+ people, people with disabilities and older adults; as
well as the consequences of mass incarceration. As our nation faces the growing threats of
climate change, more Americans are being displaced from their homes and people experiencing
unsheltered homelessness face even greater risk to their health and safety as a result of climate-
related crises like wildfires, floods, and hurricanes. Even as homelessness response systems
are helping more people than ever exit homelessness, more people are entering or reentering
homelessness.”

STATE PRIORITIES
At the state level, Governor Newsom invested $7.3 billion in 2021 and an additional $10.2 billion
in 2022 to address the state’s homelessness crisis.2 The State’s 2023-24 fiscal year budget only
included $3.4 billion for homelessness and the Governor’s proposed budget for FY2024–251
includes cuts to programs that help address homelessness and provide affordable housing. The
statewide budget shortfall may have significant local impacts on homeless services and programs.2
The California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH) is responsible for overseeing the
state’s coordinated response to homelessness and implementing accountability measures for
homelessness resources that are distributed to local governments, including the Homeless Housing,
Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program. The Governor’s 2024-25 budget eliminates nearly $300
million in previously budgeted HHAP bonus funds and does not include any new funding for an
additional round of HHAP funding or a commitment to fund it on an ongoing basis.3
The California Department of Housing and Community Development administers Homekey, ‘a
statewide effort to sustain and rapidly expand housing for persons experiencing homelessness
or at risk of homelessness.3 Homekey provides state, regional, and local public entities with the
opportunity to develop a broad range of housing types, including converting hotels and motels to
permanent or transitional housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Three
rounds of Homekey funds have been administered to date, with the City of San Luis Obispo
and People’s Self-Help Housing being awarded a Homekey Round 3 grant for the Calle Joaquin
Homekey Project.4
COUNTYWIDE PLAN
At the local level, the County of San Luis Obispo is tasked with leading regional homelessness
response efforts. Unlike its constituent cities, the County receives dedicated Federal and State
funding to staff and implement programs and services that address underlying issues related to
homelessness such as Social Services, Public Health, Behavioral Health, and Drug & Alcohol
Services.
In August 2022 the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors approved the Countywide Plan to
Address Homelessness, 2022–2027 (Countywide Plan)4. The County outlined six key lines of effort in
the plan:
1. Create affordable and appropriately designed housing opportunities
and shelter options for underserved populations.
2. Focus efforts to reduce or eliminate the barriers to housing stability for those
experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, including prevention,
diversion, supportive services, and housing navigation efforts.
3. Improve and expand data management efforts through HMIS and coordinated entry
system to strengthen data-driven operational guidance and strategic oversight.
4. Create, identify, and streamline funding and resources.

5. Strengthen regional collaboration.
6. Build public engagement through information-sharing and partnership.
The figure above provides a visualization of how each of these entities engage and overlap
on homelessness response efforts. The size of each sphere demonstrates its level of influence for
homeless response:
As the county seat, the City of San Luis Obispo has extended beyond its traditional role of
maintaining public health and safety through law enforcement and has employed staff and engaged
non-profit partners to address homelessness more urgently by increasing outreach efforts to
connect homeless individuals and families with needed services.
This strategic plan outlines the City’s role as a connector to regional services and a good-faith
partner in developing scalable and replicable programs for Countywide implementation. The City’s
overarching objective going forward is to align with the Countywide Plan to Address Homelessness.
The City views the County as the leader in regional homelessness response efforts, and wants to
support the lines of effort outlined in their plan to reduce homelessness by 50% by 2027.

HOMELESSNESS IN SLO CITY
The central role that the County plays in implementing state programs, setting regional priorities,
distributing federal and state funding resources, and delivering services such as behavioral health,
public health, social services, and drug and alcohol services plays an integral role in the City’s
homelessness response efforts.
According to the County of San Luis Obispo’s 2024 Point-in-Time Count data5, 1,175 individuals
experiencing homelessness were identified in San Luis Obispo County. Overall, the County saw
a drop in the number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness and a rise in sheltered
homelessness since 2022. In the City of San
Luis Obispo, the number of homeless individuals
counted decreased compared to 2013 numbers
and increased compared to 2022 numbers (see
chart above). While unsheltered homelessness
increased since 2022, sheltered homelessness
is at an all-time high in San Luis Obispo.
The City of SLO is encouraged by the trend of
more unhoused individuals being sheltered, but
the rise in SLO’s unsheltered homelessness
numbers confirms the need for a more robust
housing continuum and service capacity to
prevent and address homelessness.
Societally, homelessness has a broad ripple
effect. In November 2022, the City conducted a
public survey to inform this strategic plan. Of the
592 individuals surveyed, 88% stated that they
had never personally experienced homelessness;

However, 50% stated that they knew a friend or family member who has experienced homelessness
and 87% stated that they observed people experiencing homelessness in the City of San Luis Obispo
on a daily basis.
The experience of homelessness has detrimental effects on a person’s mental, physical, and emotional
health. In these conditions, individuals experiencing long-term homelessness may resort to negative
coping mechanisms (warming/cooking fires in areas of high vegetation, substance dependency,
panhandling, etc.) which amplify the adverse impacts to the individual and compromises a broader
sense of public safety and security. These problems are exacerbated when individuals who have pre-
existing mental health and/or substance abuse issues fall through cracks in the healthcare system and
become homeless. As a result, homelessness prevention must be an important part of any strategy.
As mentioned in the Countywide Plan, the average rent in the County has increased by 46% since
2016. As of February 2022, the average rent in the County was $2,347 per month ($719 more than
the national average). The County of SLO is the second least affordable small metro area in the
entire nation, with cost of housing about 51.7% higher than the national average making it the fourth
highest housing cost in the United States. Of all jurisdictions within the County, the City of San Luis
Obispo has the highest percentage of renters that are spending over 30% of their income on rent.
This Homelessness Response Strategic Plan outlines the City’s role in implementing strategies
to prevent homelessness and connect individuals experiencing homelessness to services and
housing. The graphic below is a visual representation of the continuum of housing, and this strategic
plan proposes expanding the continuum to meet the needs of key beneficiary groups who are
experiencing homelessness in the City of San Luis Obispo.

Public Engagement
Homelessness is an issue that touches every part of the community from personal wellbeing to
public safety and environmental impact. As such, community feedback has been a vital component
in shaping the City’s Strategic Plan.
Community feedback was collected through an online survey that was posted on the City’s
Homelessness Prevention and Assistance webpage and shared across City communication
channels. The survey was available to all City of San Luis Obispo community members from October
18 through November 19, 2022, and a total of 592 responses were received.
The City’s Homelessness Response Manager and Homelessness Response Coordinator also
conducted individual surveys with unsheltered and unhoused individuals to incorporate their lived
experience and valuable insight into the strategic plan. The individual surveys were administered on-
site at Shower the People and BMW’s ‘Blessed to Serve’ BBQ on November 10, 2022.
In addition to those survey platforms, City staff also engaged key stakeholders in a series of
feedback sessions. To encourage productive and honest discussion in the feedback sessions,
staff identified six distinct stakeholder groups. This intentional format encouraged individuals and
organizations to provide necessary feedback regardless of their relationship with the City (e.g. grant
recipients, permit applicants, etc.). The stakeholder groups that were convened in the Fall of 2022
included:
1. Homeless Services Providers
2. Housing Services Providers
3. Healthcare Providers
4. Grassroots/Activists Groups
5. Business Community
6. Faith-Based Groups
A list of participating agencies and organizations, as well as a summary of the feedback that was
received, are included in Appendices A and C.

23Appendix | | Homelessness Response Strategic Plan
APPENDIX A | PLANNING PROCESS
In December 2020, the City of San Luis Obispo allocated funding for its first Homelessness
Response Manager who started work for the City in April 2021. Following the creation of the new
position, City Council adopted the 2021–2023 Major City Goal for Housing and Homelessness.
The City’s first Homelessness Response Strategic Plan was a central component of the
work program.
GAPS ASSESSMENT
The City’s Homelessness Response Manager conducted an extensive gaps assessment upon
entering into the role on May 5, 2021 and presented findings to City Council on November 16, 2021.
KEY FINDINGS SUMMARIZED
Through regular meetings with City residents, elected officials, City departments, emergency
services providers, County departments, continuum of care organizations, local nonprofits,
healthcare providers, and local activists, the Homelessness Response Manager identified the
following five key components as having the greatest potential for positive and lasting impact on
homelessness in the City of San Luis Obispo:
1. Regional Collaboration and Engagement: The challenges associated with addressing
homelessness do not always follow jurisdictional lines. This is particularly true with respect to the
“continuum of shelter.” Each community cannot provide every type of shelter that is needed in the
region, and resources are not equally available for jurisdictions to provide the full range of services
needed. As a result, regional collaboration, advocacy work, and ongoing engagement with
partners across the region are important aspects of the City’s strategic approach.
2. Communications: Many external communications materials related to homelessness —
including printed notices, flyers, pamphlets, and web resources — were found to be outdated. This
has led to a misalignment of community expectations and current City policies/law enforcement
capacities. Clear, timely, and consistent communication is necessary to keep interdepartmental
staff, as well as concerned members of the public, aware of ongoing homelessness response
efforts and resources.
3. Data: Nearly every stakeholder group identified either a lack of data, or data sharing, as a key
gap in existing services. While the City does not have authority over or access to service providers
systems such as Coordinated Entry or the Homelessness Management Information System (HMIS),
multiple City departments directly engage with the homeless population and participate in data
collection on a daily basis. The ability to streamline City data and coordinate with service providers
is critical to establishing data informed best practices.
4. Pilot Programs: While the City does not have dedicated funding streams for homelessness
response programs, its practice of establishing pilot programs13, proving effectiveness, and
advocating for county adoption has enabled the city to “lead by example”. This model presents
many opportunities to address gaps in outreach services and contribute to the development of
local shelter capacity/variety; however, the City must work in close coordination with the County
to develop pilot program models that align with regional priorities to ensure programmatic
implementation and sustainability.
13. Current City pilot programs include the Community Action Team and Mobile Crisis Unit.
Page 687 of 747
Appendix | 24 | Homelessness Response Strategic Plan
5. Funding Opportunities: As the Federal Government and State of California have recognized
the urgency of the homeless crisis, more funding has become available. While it is not practical to
pursue every available funding opportunity, the City will support the County in establishing clear
regional priorities, collaborating on identified funding opportunities, and implementing all funding
requirements that pertain to the City.
COORDINATION WITH COUNTY PLANNING EFFORT
In April 2021, the County of San Luis Obispo began a new strategic planning effort to address
homelessness. Recognizing the County’s leadership role for regional homelessness response efforts
and services, while also considering the urgent need to address homelessness within the City of San
Luis Obispo, Council approved a continuous implementation methodology for the Strategic Plan.
This methodology allowed for continuous assessment and troubleshooting to address immediate
needs, which in turn informed the City’s long-term strategy. In other words, the City has not waited
for a written plan to start taking action.
As a result, the Homelessness Response Manager presented study session updates on the City’s
strategic plan in a series of City Council Meetings on November 16, 2021, June 21, 2022, and
September 20, 2022.
Following the Board of Supervisor’s adoption of a 5-Year Countywide Strategic Plan to Address
Homelessness on August 9, 2022, the City of San Luis Obispo worked to formalize its own strategic
plan in alignment with regional goals.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
To inform the Strategic Plan, the City reviewed data on homelessness within San Luis Obispo
and the surrounding region, examined related City policies and planning documents, facilitated
community feedback through an online survey, conducted feedback sessions with key stakeholder
groups, and administered field surveys of people currently experiencing homelessness in the City of
San Luis Obispo. These forums provided participants the opportunity to share feedback on the most
pressing concerns related to homelessness, available resources, and opportunities for future efforts
in each of the plan’s five key component areas.
Online Survey Methodology
Community feedback on the City’s Strategic Plan was collected through a 15-question online
survey on the Open Town Hall platform. The survey was available to the public from October 18 to
November 19, 2022.
The survey was distributed through various City communication channels, including the City
website, social media channels, email outreach, local radio, and word of mouth awareness. The
survey was accessed via the Homeless Response page on the City of SLO’s website, www.slocity.
org/homelessness, and received a total of 592 responses.
Page 688 of 747
25Appendix | | Homelessness Response Strategic Plan
Stakeholder Feedback Methodology
In an effort to inform the Strategic Plan to Prevent and Address Homelessness, the City convened
groups of similarly situated stakeholders to provide insights and recommendations. Six key
stakeholder groups were identified: Homeless Services Providers, Housing Services Providers,
Healthcare Providers, Activist Groups, Business Community, Faith-Based Community Groups.
A list of agencies and programs represented through the stakeholder engagement process is
included in Table 1 below:

Appendix | 26 | Homelessness Response Strategic Plan
Outreach for each of the community feedback sessions was done by the Homelessness Response
Manager and Homelessness Response Coordinator, with key stakeholders being identified and
contacted via email.
The feedback sessions were held in person at various locations between November 1 and
November 18, 2022.
Unhoused Field Survey Methodology
Individual surveys were administered to sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals on
November 10, 2022, at two different locations in San Luis Obispo. A total of 23 individuals
participated in the survey, including 11 unsheltered individuals and and 12 individuals living out of
their vehicles.
The first survey location was at Unitarian Universalist Church (2201 Lawton Avenue), where Shower
the People provides showers to unhoused community members. The second survey location
was at BMW of San Luis Obispo (1251 Calle Joaquin), where BMW provides a weekly ‘Blessed to
Serve’ BBQ for unhoused community members.
Interviews were conducted with individuals while they waited or after they received their shower/
meal, and responses were documented on handwritten survey forms. All participants were
provided with a gift card incentive for participating in the survey.
Data from the survey enabled a more comprehensive understanding of the experiences of
unhoused individuals. To center the voices of those experiencing homelessness throughout this
plan, quotes from these survey responses are featured at the beginning of each key component
section.
STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
Two-Year Time Frame
The City of San Luis Obispo developed a 2-year Homelessness Response Strategic Plan to
implement a realistic, action-oriented plan per City Council’s guidance.
The 2-year framework was intentionally established to create accountability and allow for ongoing
evaluation and adaptability to adjust objectives and strategies in response to the changing landscape
of homelessness in San Luis Obispo.
Year 1 Focus: Establish priorities, align with newly adopted Countywide Plan, and amplify
what is working.
Year 2 Focus: Develop new resources and partnerships in alignment the County and service
providers to address ongoing gaps.
Page 690 of 747
Appendix | 27 | Homelessness Response Strategic Plan
While our initial 2-year plan aims to encompass the City and Region’s current priorities, other
priorities and tasks will be included in future updates to the strategic plan, in continued alignment
with the County and State programs and opportunities.
Alignment
Initiating this plan in FY 2022 allows for established goals to influence the City’s 2023–2025
Financial Plan. Renewal of the plan in 2-year intervals aligns with the City’s 2020–2028 Housing
Element as well as its 2019–2028 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Moreover, the City’s
2-year cycle allows time to analyze lessons learned and best practices that can meaningfully
contribute to an updated regional strategy following the current 2022–2027 Countywide Strategic
Plan to Address Homelessness.
Based on findings from the information gathering and stakeholder engagement processes, the City
of San Luis Obispo identified 2-year goals for each of the plan’s five key components: 1. Regional
Collaboration and Engagement, 2. Communications, 3. Data, 4. Pilot Programs, 5. Funding
Opportunities.
To support the successful attainment of each goal, the the City developed objectives, key tasks, and
measures for recognizing success. In addition, the City also explored ways in which each goal may
align with or enhance the impact of the 5-year Countywide Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness,
as demonstrated in Table 2 of next page.

APPENDIX F | GLOSSARY
Affordable Housing: Housing that is often procured through a voucher subsidy that pays the
majority of the rental cost (e.g., Section 8 Voucher, Emergency Housing Voucher).
At Risk of Homelessness: A status given to individuals and their families who have unstable
housing and inadequate income and resources.
Behavioral Health: The connection between a person’s behaviors and the health and well-being of
the body and mind.
Below Market Rate Housing: Below Market Rate (BMR) means that the affordability level of a
dwelling unit is below the cost of what the current market rate unit would be, and includes a deed
restriction ensuring that the unit is affordable to extremely low-, very low-, low-, or moderate-income
households. The income level is determined by the Area Median Income which is based on the
median gross yearly income adjusted for assumed household size, in San Luis Obispo County.
The Area Median Income is determined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). Below Market Rate units may be designated as rental units or provided for home ownership
opportunities on a case-by-case basis.
Case Management: Assessment, planning, facilitation, care coordination, evaluation and advocacy
with people experiencing homelessness. Staff work with individuals and families to address their
comprehensive needs to help them exit homelessness and stay housed.
Chronically Homeless: A person who has been homeless for at least a year, either 12 months
consecutively or over the course of at least 4 separate occasions in the past 3 years. To be
chronically homeless, the individual or head of household must also have a disability.
Community Action Team (CAT): A City funded program that consists of one San Luis Obispo
Police Department officer assigned to work with a social worker from Transitions Mental Health.
The Community Action Team connects individuals to services and resources to address housing,
addiction counseling and services, food insecurity, mental health counseling and services, and family
reunification. CAT identifies problems and crime trends that negatively impact the quality of life for
residents, business owners and visitors to the City of San Luis Obispo. CAT works collaboratively
with various organizations to address concerns and needs including other City departments, social
service agencies, private businesses, and non-profits.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): A flexible program run by HUD that provides
communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs.
Coordinated Entry System: A system for accessing homeless housing and services that prioritizes
the highest need, most vulnerable households in the community and that ensures the housing and
supportive services in the system are used as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Diversion: A strategy that prevents homelessness for people seeking shelter by helping them
identify immediate alternate housing arrangements and, if necessary, connecting them with
supportive services and financial assistance to help them return to permanent housing.

Appendix | 43 | Homelessness Response Strategic Plan
Emergency Shelter: Any facility with overnight sleeping accommodations, the primary purpose
of which is to provide temporary shelter for homeless people. Shelter may include year-round
emergency shelters, winter and warming shelters, navigation centers and transitional housing.
These types of shelter have varying hours, lengths of stay, food service, support services, and case
management.
Encampment: An outdoor space that does not have amenities and is not intended for human
habitation that is illegally inhabited with makeshift shelter (e.g., tent, tarps, scrap).
Geographic Information System (GIS): A computer system that captures, analyzes, and displays
geographically referenced information. It uses data that is attached to a unique location.
Homekey Program: A statewide effort to sustain and rapidly expand housing for persons
experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. Homekey is an opportunity for state regional,
and local public entities to develop a broad range of housing types, including but not limited to
hotels, motels, hostels, single-family homes and multifamily apartments, adult residential facilities,
and manufactured housing, and to convert commercial properties and other existing buildings to
Permanent or Interim Housing for target populations.
Homeless: Homelessness is defined by HUD in four categories: (1) individuals and families who
lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence and includes a subset for an individual who
resided in an emergency shelter or a place not meant for human habitation and who is exiting an
institution where he or she temporarily resided; (2) individuals and families who will imminently lose
their primary nighttime residence; (3) unaccompanied youth and families with children and youth
who are defined as homeless under other federal statutes who do not otherwise qualify as homeless
under this definition; and (4) individuals and families who are fleeing, or are attempting to flee,
domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other dangerous or life-threatening
conditions that relate to violence against the individual or a family member.
Homeless Management Information System (HMIS): A local information technology system
used to collect client-level data and data on the provision of housing and services to homeless
individuals and families and persons at risk of homelessness.
Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs): Formerly known as the Section 8 program, HCVs are long-
term rental subsidies funded by HUD and administered by Public Housing Authorities that can be
used to help pay for rent.
Key Performance Indicator (KPI): A quantifiable indicator of progress over time for a specific
objective.
Market Rate Housing: Market Rate Housing means housing constructed in the principal project
that is based on existing area market values or demand, Market Rate Housing is not subject to sales
or rental restrictions.
Medically Vulnerable: A person over the age of 50 who experiences chronic medical conditions,
including but not limited to lung disease, asthma, heart disease, liver or kidney disease, diabetes,
and hypertension and/or has a compromised immune system such as from cancer, HIV, organ or
bone marrow transplant, or as a side effect of medication or other conditions.

Appendix | 44 | Homelessness Response Strategic Plan
Mobile Crisis Unit (MCU): A City funded program that consists of one City of San Luis Obispo
Firefighter / Paramedic paired with a social worker from Transitions Mental Health to provide de-
escalation and relief to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. Mobile crisis services
include screening, assessment, stabilization, de-escalation, follow-up, and coordination with
healthcare services and other support services.
Non-Congregate Shelter: Overnight sleeping accommodations with individual quarters, such as
hotels, motels, and dormitories.
People with Lived Experience: Individuals who have lived through the experience of
homelessness and have first-hand knowledge of what it is like to live unsheltered and/or to move
through the homeless system of care.
Pilot Program: A small-scall, short-term experiment that incorporates best practices to help an
organization implement a large-scale project.
Point-in-Time (PIT) Count: An annual process required of CoCs by HUD to count the number of
people experiencing homelessness on a single night in January. The PIT count provides a snapshot
of data available on the size and characteristics of the homeless population in a CoC over time.
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH): Long-term housing with intensive supportive services
for persons with disabilities. These programs typically target people with extensive experiences
of homelessness and multiple vulnerabilities and needs who would not be able to retain housing
without significant support.
Prevention: A strategy that targets financial resources and supportive services to people who are at
imminent risk of homelessness (whereas Diversion usually targets people as they are initially trying to
gain entry into shelter).
Recuperative Care: Short-term, post-hospital, residential care for individuals who no longer require
hospitalization but still need to heal from an injury or illness (including behavioral health conditions),
and whose condition would be exacerbated by an unstable living environment.
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA): A determination of a locality’s housing needs
by the local Council of Government and based on State law, that takes into account various
factors such as population growth, employment growth, vacancy rates, housing removals, and
concentration of poverty.
Safe Parking: A parking program, operated on property located outside of the public right-of-way
and managed by a social service provider that provides individuals and families with vehicles a safe
place to park overnight while working towards a transition to permanent housing. Shelter is provided
in vehicles located in designated Safe Parking Areas for specified periods of time.
Street Outreach: Multi-disciplinary teams who work on the streets or in encampments to engage
with people experiencing homelessness who may be disconnected or alienated from services and
supports that are offered at an agency.
Page 708 of 747
Appendix | 45 | Homelessness Response Strategic Plan
Supportive Housing: The term Supportive Housing (per Government Code Section 65582[f], as
may be amended) shall mean a dwelling unit occupied by a target population, with no limit on length
of stay, that is linked to onsite or off-site services that assist the supportive housing resident(s) in
retaining the housing, improving their health status, and maximizing their ability to live and, when
possible, work in the community. A target population means persons with low incomes having
one or more disabilities, including mental illness, HIV or AIDS, substance abuse, or other chronic
health conditions, or individuals eligible for services provided under the Lanterman Developmental
Disabilities Services Act (Welfare and Institutions [W&I] Code Section 4500) and may include—
among other populations—adults, emancipated youth, families, families with children, elderly
persons, young adults aging out of the foster care system, individuals exiting from institutional
settings, veterans, and homeless people.
Supportive Services: Services offered (on a voluntary basis) to maximize housing stability and
prevent returns to homelessness as opposed to addressing predetermined treatment goals prior
to permanent housing entry. Services include assistance applying for benefits, mental health and
substance use services, outpatient health services, information and referral services, child care,
education, life skills training, employment assistance and job training, housing search and counseling
services, legal services, outreach services, transportation, food assistance, risk assessment and
safety planning (particularly for individuals and families experiencing domestic violence), and case
management services such as counseling, finding and coordinating services, and monitoring and
evaluating progress in a program.
Temporary Emergency Shelter: A designated outdoor space with minimal amenities (toilets,
waste disposal, wash station) that allows participants to bring their own shelter for overnight use and
must be vacated for daytime use by the general public.
Transient: A person who moves from place to place; a homeless person.
Transitional Housing: Non-congregate accommodation that is provided for up to 2 years while
permanent housing is being identified and procured to meet an individual or family’s needs.
Unhoused: An individual without permanent physical accommodation or shelter, including
individuals or families experiencing states of transitional or episodic homelessness (e.g. living out of
a vehicle).
Unsheltered: An individual who is living in places not meant for human habitation; a primary
nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular
sleeping accommodation.
