Congratulations to the Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo (HASLO) on the financing closing for the Apartments at Toscano, a new construction development in San Luis Obispo. The project will contain 38 one, two, and three-bedroom units to be rented to households earning less than 30 – 60% of AMI.
Apartments at Toscano is the affordable component of the larger Toscano housing development, and the project site was transferred to the housing authority under San Luis Obispo’s inclusionary housing ordinance. The project’s future occupants will enjoy access to resources and services locally in the neighborhood, which was designated as a High Resource Opportunity Area by the state of California for providing residents access to educational opportunities, job opportunities, and economic mobility.
HASLO has been serving the SLO area since the 1960s and was designated as a “High Performer” housing authority by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for the high-quality services it provides to tenants.
