Oak Park 1 is managed by Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo.
Oak Park 1 is the first of a four-phase project totaling over 300 affordable housing units, and will replace the 148 units of deteriorated public housing units currently existing on the site.
The Oak Park 1 Apartments, are an 80-unit multi-family rental housing development consisting of 8 one-bedroom apartments, 44 two-bedroom apartments, 26 three-bedroom apartments, and 2 four-bedroom apartments. Square footages of the apartments range from 755 sq. ft. to 1,581 sq. ft. The target population primarily consists of residents from the City of Paso Robles and north San Luis Obispo County who are income qualified. Families with incomes between 30 and 60 percent of area median income (AMI) are welcome to apply. 32 of the units are Section 8 project-based voucher assisted households, and 20 of the units will be provided to farmworker families.
Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
