Public / Conventional Housing Program

The HASLO Conventional Housing Program consists of apartment complexes within the city of San Luis Obispo that the Housing Authority owns and operates. Qualified families and individuals rent these apartments, with the renter's rent based on their income. In order to qualify for the program, families or individuals must have a total family income of seventy percent or less of the counties median income for their family size.

All of the apartment complexes owned by HASLO are small family oriented complexes with the sizes ranging from three apartments to 20 apartments. The complexes, designed to reflect the southwestern architectural style of the local neighborhoods and the city as a whole, are scattered throughout the city of San Luis Obispo.

There are a few complexes included within the Conventional Housing Program designed for elderly and disabled clients. These complexes are usually studio or one-bedroom apartment complexes, while most of the family complexes range from one bedroom up to four bedroom apartments suitable for larger families.

Since the Housing Authority is the "landlord" for the Conventional Housing Program apartment complexes, there is a screening process that all applicants go through. The screening process insures that all of the HASLO complexes are drug and violence free, allowing for a safe environment for all residents.

There are a number of auxiliary programs associated with the Conventional Housing Program, these programs include, but are not limited to, the Children's Work Incentive Program, the Learning Center and Tutoring programs, as well as the Family Self Sufficiency program.
