The Peoples’ Self-Help Housing’s (PSHH) team has been working over the past year to build a beautiful, new property in Guadalupe. Guadalupe Court will provide affordable, supportive housing for those working in agriculture throughout the Central Coast.

With construction coming to an end in a few weeks, PSHH is preparing to welcome farmworker households into their new homes.

“We are so proud to bring more quality, affordable housing to the city of Guadalupe,” said John Fowler, president/CEO of PSHH. “Guadalupe Court is one-of-a-kind and will be the perfect place for farmworker families to call home.”

Guadalupe Court is comprised of 38 brand new rental units (one-, two- and three-bedroom). Amenities include a spacious outdoor courtyard, onsite laundry facilities, a barbecue area, playground, and community center.

The property is innovative as it will be the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum building in the city and will provide wrap-around services for its residents with an after-school education program and compassionate, onsite, licensed social workers.

Units are still available for Guadalupe Court and applications can be picked up from Riverview Townhomes, 230 Calle Cesar E. Chavez, Guadalupe. An application can be requested by email at gc@pshhc.org, online at pshhc.org/new-housing, or by calling 805-249-2040. Direct questions regarding the application process and eligibility to gc@pshhc.org or 805-249-2040.

If you know someone who may benefit from living at Guadalupe Court, refer them and you will receive an $800 gift-card benefit. Submit referrals to gc@pshhc.org or 805-249-2040. The eligible applicant must move in by Sept. 1 to receive the benefit.
