About Sunny Acres

We are a 501c(3) non-profit corporation that provides a clean and sober environment for those with drug and alcohol addictions.  We are located at 10660 Los Osos Valley Road in San Luis Obispo, CA.  We offer a clean and sober living environment at an affordable rate so that people in recovery can start taking those first steps toward re-entering society and leading productive lives.  We are unique in the fact that currently we are the only clean and sober living environment that is open to both male and female associates as well as couples.

What we offer

Here at Sunny Acres, we offer a simple program of living to help people with addictions overcome various obstacles in a supportive and healthy atmosphere.  Associates have access to on-site management in a secure setting and a variety of services including:
 
Low Cost Housing
AA / NA Meetings
Affordable Meals
Work Opportunities
 
We believe that a good foundation is the most important step in building a new life in sobriety.  Some of our clients have special needs, or may have obligations to parole, probation, or mental health.  Our associates come from many walks of life, but they all share a common goal: learning to live clean and sober.  They form a diverse and unique community, with a genuine interest in helping each other overcome the disease of addiction and succeed in living a more responsible and productive life.  Clients are offered work, access to meals in a community kitchen and when available, housing based on their individual needs.  Our program allows associates to attend on-site meetings twice a week for Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous, and one Community Meeting where we discuss ways of improving and strengthening the community.  We believe that the success of the individual serves to enhance and enrich the community as a whole.
 

Housing

We offer shared rooms in a recently remodeled Victorian home with all the amenities, including kitchen facilities and furnished living room with fireplace.  We plan to upgrade Sunny Acres with an 8000 sq. ft. facility to offer more housing.  However, making this happen has proven to be a significant challenge. At present this puts limitations on our ability to help new people in need.  However, we do our best to accommodate the needs of those who contact us, including suggesting other venues.  Please call us with questions you have, or specifics you may need. 
 
Currently San Luis Obispo has a shortage of available low-cost clean and sober living homes.  While our goal is to address the shortage by expanding Sunny Acres, in the meantime we strive to improve the situation for our residents and San Luis Obispo using the resources available to us.
