Celebrating the life of

George Moylan

San Luis Obispo suffered a great loss when George Moylan passed away in 2005. We all miss his commitment to affordable housing, his sense of humor and his sometimes pain fully honest comments and assessments.

George was a tireless advocate for affordable housing and a highly respected expert in the field. He committed the last 18 years of his life to improving the living conditions for less fortunate members of our community.

As the Executive Director for the Housing Authority of the City of San Luis Obispo and its nonprofit affiliates, George created and managed affordable rental housing and provided rental assistance.
A creative problem solver, George went far beyond the typical role of a housing authority director to address the housing needs of this community. He partnered with service providers to own and maintain the Maxine Lewis Memorial Homeless Shelter. He partnered with others to create and operate the Tenant Based Rental Assistance Program, which helps people with special needs secure affordable housing.

Based on his commitment to our creation and success, George has been called the father of the Housing Trust Fund. He was active in the initial organizing efforts for the HTF and was one of our founding directors. He also helped us to raise needed start-up and operating funds.

At his family’s request, a memorial fund was established at the HTF to honor George’s memory and continue his important work. Contributions to the George Moylan Affordable Housing Fund will be used exclusively to help finance affordable housing in San Luis Obispo County.
