Home - About Us - CEO\'S Welcome

Dear Friends,

As CEO I would like to share with you my pleasure in serving the community through the Housing Authority. And it is relatively easy service due to the Commitment, Competency, Cooperation, Communication and Compassion  - the core values that the Housing Authority staff and Commission bring to our work everyday.

 
The real measure of the Housing Authority’s impact is not just in the number of units we have developed and manage; it’s in the lives of the people we serve. Visit any of our developments and you’ll find people whose lives have been transformed by having an affordable, safe and comfortable place to live.

We have always placed the resident at the core of our mission. Almost everyone, at some point in life, needs the assistance of someone else to navigate the path to personal and economic independence. This understanding underlies our success. 

As we celebrate 40 years of service and look to our future, we recognize that the need for affordable housing only continues to grow. No matter how big a dent we make, our job will never be done.

But we have no doubt that, through the next 40 years, the Housing Authority will respond with the same high-quality housing production and continual innovation for which we’ve become known.

As we celebrate 40 years of successful service to Santa Barbara, we say thank you to all of our partners. Our work and success would not be possible without you.

And to all of our past and current residents, we applaud your success and commitment to community.

Sincerely,

 

Robert G. Pearson, Executive Director/CEO
