Dear SLO City Council: Heidi Harmon, Andy Pease, Aaron Gomez,
Carlyn Christianson, and Dan Rivoire,
RECEIVED
CITY OF SAN LUIS OBISPO
SEP 14 2017
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
I would like to address my professional concerns regarding the lack of housing in San Luis Obispo and its effects on Cuesta
College.
Over the last ten years, Cuesta College has had top recruits, both managers and faculty, decline offered positions due to the
cost and lack of available housing. The college has also lost employees who have left after the first or second year, because of
the cost and lack of affordable. housing. The cost of recruitment and retention of employees is a significant financial
investment by the college. This appears to be a common issue with other organizations within our community. I believe the
city is already seeing long term effects of not supplying housing opportunities for young professionals and families who want to
dedicate their working lives as educators but cannot afford to live where they work.
I am asking for you to support new housing in San Luis Obispo,
Respectfully,
Deborah
