A safe place starts with neighbors like you.

Friends of 40 Prado provides emergency shelter, meals and a path forward for our neighbors experiencing homelessness in San Luis Obispo. 

OUR MISSION

More than shelter - a community that lifts people up.

At 40 Prado Road, we believe every person deserves safety, dignity and the chance to rebuild. Since 1984, we’ve been the heart of San Luis Obispo’s response to homelessness – offering emergency shelter, case management, meals and connections to housing. 

We don’t just open our doors. We walk alongside each person, helping them navigate the systems and find the stability they need to move forward. It’s neighbor helping neighbor – and it works.

“I came to 40 Prado with nothing. The staff treated me like a person, not a problem. That changed everything.”
