About the Housing Authority of Santa Barbara
Through initiatives, programs, and strong partnerships in the community, The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara helps working individuals and families live where they work, enabling them to enjoy a thriving Santa Barbara economy and community.

While our primary mission is to serve “lower income” families, we have also created programs designed to include income earners who are not strictly at the very lowest end of the income bracket. Our below market, fixed-rent properties are located in neighborhoods throughout the city and are often the most attractive housing on the block.

Since 1969, the Housing Authority has developed and/or secured over 3,000 units of affordable rental housing for Santa Barbara.
