Our Values
The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara does more than handle the day-to-day demands of providing affordable housing solutions to lower income families, seniors and the disabled. We strive to craft solutions to our Community's affordable housing dilemma in a holistic manner, and turn them into reality.
While we create opportunities for our residents to reach their potential - through innovative housing programs, resident and community services - we also create opportunities for our staff members for professional growth and to contribute meaningfully to the workplace and the community.
We foster a collaborative and respectful work environment, where every member plays a significant role in working together to aid our mission of providing safe, decent, and quality affordable housing to persons with limited incomes in our community.
We welcome you to join our team!
