January 23, 2025
We respectfully ask the City Council of San Luis Obispo to consider the critical role of mental
health services in their Major City Goals for 2025-27. Some of our most effective local
resources are in danger of losing funding due to changes from Proposition 1 as well as County
deficits. The Central Coast Hotline (responding to over 10,000 calls and texts each year),
employment programs like Growing Grounds Nursery and Downtown Store (employing over 80
adults living with mental illness each year), and the Community Action Team all make a
difference in the lives of our community members.
