Photo of residentHow do I affect the Housing Authority?

The HACSB is nationally recognized because of tenants that care! Tenants have helped the HA by keeping their apartment and the surrounding area in good condition. Tenants have helped with evictions of problem tenants that have had the potential of drug dealings or other illegal activity in and around the apartment complexes.

When is my rent due?

Your rent is due on the first of the month. We encourage people to pay at the bank anytime prior to that to avoid a last-minute rush.

Who can get on the Family Self-Sufficiency program?

Any Section 8 participant and Public Housing resident. For more information on the Family Self-Sufficiency program, click here or call the Department of Resident Services at (805) 897-1044. Monthly FSS briefings are held every 2nd Tuesday of the month and every 2nd Wednesday of the month in English and Spanish, respectively.

I have a Maintenance Problem in my unit, what procedure do I follow?

If a non-emergency maintenance problem occurs, you should contact your onsite manager of the problem as soon as possible as to the nature of the problem and if it is acceptable for maintenance personnel to enter your unit to make the repair(s). If you do not have an onsite manger for your unit, then call our maintenance department at 805-897-1060 to initiate the repair process. Non-emergency work orders are placed on the repair schedule and will be processed as time permits.
