This year the "cabins for change" in grover beach were completed and inhabitated by Homeless people who applied for the program. 20 10'x10' cabins were constructed on leased county property as transitional housing. Plus bathrooms, community room, staff office, and outside area. The first group of residents graduated to permanent housing, and the cabins were reoccupied with new applicants. This is a highly successful program to house the Homeless and move them off the streets to permanent jobs and housing. 5chc is constructing another site with 30 cabins on land provided by the city of grover beach, and funded primarily by balay ko foundation, with new cabins provided by san luis obispo county. Currently there is a waiting list of applicants eligible to stay in the cabins. This program is truly a community effort with support coming from the county, cities, foundations, businesses, churches, and individuals in record amounts for 5chc to continue its successful efforts to house, feed, and support the Homeless.
