People’s Self-Help Housing

The Dana Reserve includes an improved land donation to People’s Self-Help Housing and Lucia Mar Unified School District to build 78 deed-restricted units for those with low, very low, and extremely low incomes. This neighborhood will be near the large passive park and daycare center.  

The 78 units will be offered to LMUSD teachers and staff.  

Service is at the heart of our organization. For our current 10,000 residents who call People’s Self-Help Housing home, it comes in the form of attractive neighborhoods, affordable rents or mortgages, access to social workers, and a vibrant education program.  

Our service comes in many forms. Perhaps unknowingly to you, your bookkeeper arrived to work refreshed from a good night’s sleep because their PSHH home is quiet and safe. And maybe your dental appointment was on time because the journey to work for the front desk staff was short. Possibly your elderly friend received compassionate care from a nursing student who graduated top of their class because of support from our dedicated educators.
