Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara

Located in a charming neighborhood and surrounded by single-family homes, this property is made up of four classic two-bedroom apartments. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara meticulously restored this property giving respect to its architectural heritage and history. This craftsman-style building became one of our most treasured properties when HACSB purchased and restored it, reversing years of neglect.

Last month, the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara honored twenty-three graduates that completed the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program, with a graduation ceremony and dinner for their families. These 23 graduates have a combined escrow of $578,608.93 and an average income increase of $43,007, with seven no longer receiving housing assistance.

The FSS Program is a voluntary five-year program in which each participant designs goals and objectives to achieve living wage employment and gain economic self-sufficiency. The FSS Coordinator monitors each participants progress, to aid in their successful completion of each level on their journey to self-sufficiency.

Congratulations to all of the FSS Graduates! To learn more, visit www.2nd-story.org/2nd-story-happenings.
