Neighborhood Services Team
The Neighborhood Services Team is comprised of
representatives from various city departments who work collaboratively
with residents and community based groups in an effort to promote
communications, support the City of San Luis Obispo’s General Plan and
foster neighborhood enhancement and well-being. The minutes of those meetings then become "Neighbor News" and
are provided to interested parties, distributed to neighborhood groups
and made available below for reference purposes.
Working to Improve Neighborhoods (WIN)
A major emphasis in the Office of Neighborhood Services is our public information and education component
entitled WIN, or Working to Improve Neighborhoods. Originally part of the Community Development
department’s
code enforcement effort, the WIN program is now identified as part of a city-wide information, education,
prevention and action effort to reduce blight conditions and improve property values. Components include
a radio and print campaign designed to educate persons about blight conditions and how they can reduce
substandard housing conditions in their neighborhoods.
In addition, a Neighborhood Services
team of city
officials and local neighborhood groups meet to discuss specific actions that both the government and private
sector can use to improve quality of life issues in neighborhoods.

Fight Blight!
The “Broken Window Theory” states that if a community allows blight conditions to go undeterred, crime
increases, quality of life diminishes, and property values plummet. The City of San Luis Obispo maintains an
aggressive multi-department effort in order to reduce blighted conditions. You can help by reporting problem
properties to the proper department:
