KCBX's Angel Russell reports. There’s an affordable housing crunch throughout San Luis Obispo County, and to help meet the demand, a new housing development project in Pismo Beach is aiming to provide supportive housing to working families, transitional youth, and formerly homeless individuals. The average rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Pismo Beach is $2,400, according to Zumper National Rent report. Ken Trigueiro, CEO of People’s Self Help Housing, said far too many people can’t afford rent that high. “Our highest wait list counts are in the Five Cities area, where there is just not enough housing available that is affordable," Triguerio said.
