Right now, county officials estimate there is upwards of $25 million in rent debt in San Luis Obispo County.
California recently passed the California Rental Assistance Program which will give San Luis Obispo County more than $17 million in rent relief to offset the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
County Supervisor Bruce Gibson said, â[The] money [is] going back to tenants, so they can stay up on their rent, so they can stay in their housing and money also going back to landlords because the ripple effect there is they face foreclosure.â
Paavo Ogren up for SLO County appointment, but where does he live?

Former public works director Paavo Ogren used to live in Atascadero. But that was before he applied to represent San Luis Obispo County Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg on the Water Resource Advisory Committee (WRAC) as the District 3 representative. District 3 includes Edna Valley, Avila Beach, Pismo Beach, Shell Beach and Grover Beach and a portion of San Luis Obispo.
In 2018, Ogren and his long-time significant other Maria Kelly jointly purchased a more than 100 year old home in Atascadero, taking out a joint mortgage. Ogren and Kelly then changed their voter registrations to District 5 while a relative lived in the home Ogren owns in SLO.
