Mission Statement

We build affordable homes with site-based services that offer opportunities to change lives and strengthen communities on the central coast of California.

About This Cause

People's Self-Help Housing is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming lives by providing affordable housing and supportive services across California's Central Coast. Since our founding in 1965, we have developed over 1,200 affordable homes and 59 rental communities, and our mission extends beyond housing to include a range of services aimed at helping families and individuals achieve stability and self-sufficiency. These services include site-based educational programs, social work support, college readiness initiatives, and health services. We work with vulnerable populations, including low-income families, seniors, transitional-aged youth, and individuals experiencing homelessness. People's Self-Help Housing's commitment to empowering communities is reflected in our holistic approach to housing. By focusing on the development of both physical spaces and the personal growth of our residents, we support individuals and families in building long-term success. Through our on-site resident Learning Centers, we offer after-school programs that foster academic achievement, career exploration, and personal growth, particularly in STEAM subjects. Camino Scholars is our K-12 after school and summer program that statistically increases math and literacy skills. Our CELEBRE program offers critical college readiness for Latina teens. To meet the needs of our residents, many of whom are transitioning from years of housing instability, we combine compassionate property management with service-enriched supportive housing. Residents have access to free, confidential, clinical case management and onsite care. Our team helps build capacity, well-being, personal resiliency, and ensures residents have access to a wide network of regional resources. Whether it’s a small bump in the road or a long-term challenge, the Supportive Housing Program plays a key role in a return to stability. As People's Self-Help Housing approaches its 55th anniversary, our efforts continue to be shaped by a deep understanding of the unique needs of each community we serve, ensuring that every resident has the opportunity to thrive in a safe, supportive, and stable environment.
