Donation to People’s Self Help Housing

COMM PSHH donaitonPacific Western Bank recently presented Peoples’ Self-Help Housing with a $10,000 donation in recognition of the nonprofit agency’s 45th Anniversary in 2015. “Community partners like Pacific Western Bank are what have helped Peoples’ to grow from a small, community initiative to a nonprofit that owns and manages more than 1,500 affordable rental units and has helped more than 1,100 low-income families build their own homes across the Tri-Counties,” said PSHH CEO/President John Fowler. “Each dollar donated helps make sure hardworking, low-income families, seniors, veterans and others in need have a safe place to call home.” Founded in 1970 to address a lack of safe, affordable housing in San Luis Obispo, the nonprofit has expanded to Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. PSHH kicked off its anniversary year with a gala luncheon April 23 at the Madonna Inn. The celebration will continue with a 45th Anniversary Dinner and Auction, set for Nov. 13 at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum.
