The Homeless Services Division was established within the Department of Social Services on August 9, 2022, following the approval of the San Luis Obispo Countywide Plan to Address Homelessness by the Board of Supervisors. Full staffing and operational capacity is expected during the summer of 2023.

San Luis Obispo Countywide Plan to Address Homelessness

On August 9, 2022, the County Board of Supervisors approved a plan to curb homelessness by 50% in 5 years. The plan represents months of collaboration and input from those affected by homelessness in San Luis Obispo County, including the public, various agencies, non-profits, and other community stakeholders.
