Celebrating the life of George MoylanSan Luis Obispo suffered a great loss when George Moylan passed away on September 30, 2005. We will all miss his commitment to affordable housing, his sense of humor and his sometimes painfully honest comments and assessments. George was a tireless advocate for affordable housing and a highly respected expert in the field. He committed his last 18 years 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 the San Luis Obispo Nonprofit Housing Corporation, 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 ongoing commitment to our creation and success, George has also 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 helped us to raise needed funding and served on our board through July of 2005.
