VivaSLO (vivaslo.org) is a new guide for how to get by when you’re barely getting by in SLO County.

It helps you find free and low-cost resources that can help you if you are experiencing homelessness, are threatened with homelessness, or are just short on money.

It is free and ad-free (and always will be), and a project of Shower the People.

It covers everything from basics like food, shelter, clothing, and medical care, to more specialized topics like how to replace an ID card or birth certificate, where to get a shower, how to get legal help, where to get mail if you don’t have a fixed address, how to get job training and employment, where to charge your devices, and how to care for your pets.
