San Luis Obispo County
Start with the safest next step.
SafeSteps SLO is a local pilot directory for San Luis Obispo County. It does not replace emergency services, 211, 988, or current provider intake rules.
211 SLO
211 is available day and night for local resource navigation. You can dial 2-1-1 or text your zip code to 898-211 to look for shelter, food, housing, health, benefits, transportation, and other support.
988
988 is for mental health, suicide, emotional distress, and substance-use crisis support. Call or text 988 if you or someone nearby needs immediate crisis support.
Countywide coverage
This app starts near 93405 because many users may be near Cuesta College or San Luis Obispo, but results include resources across the county. Call before traveling when possible.
Local data
Listings show source names, verified dates, and last updated dates. Details can change. Use Report on a listing when something looks wrong.
More local resources
VivaSLO also maintains a broader SLO County resource guide. SafeSteps keeps the pilot directory smaller and action-focused, and links to VivaSLO when a deeper local directory may help.
Spanish-ready support
Some listings include Spanish notes now. The structure is ready for fuller Spanish content as local partners review the wording.
