As a resident and business owner deeply concerned about California’s homeless crisis and its impact on San Luis Obispo County, its human cost, and its effect on public safety, I am proud to support Heather Moreno as District 5 supervisor. Heather’s leadership as the mayor of Atascadero has demonstrated a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, particularly when it comes to the multifaceted issue of homelessness.
She has significantly increased resources by hiring a second officer and a part-time mental health worker, working in tandem with a case manager from the ECHO Homeless Shelter. These efforts, combined with the enforcement of local laws, have fostered a situation where more people are accepting services, finding housing, or receiving shelter.
