San Mateo County’s 10-year HOPE plan featured by USICH
July 18, 2008 – 3:26 pmThe United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) recently featured San Mateo County’s 10-year plan to end homelessness. The plan, called Housing Our People Effectively (HOPE), calls for creation of thousands of homes for people who are homeless or at-risk of homelessnesss. The article details a recent visit by the director of USICH to San Mateo County, where HOPE plan leaders were meeting to recalibrate the plan after two years. The intent of the HOPE plan was always to be a living document, not a plan in a binder on a shelf, hence the recalibration was in keeping with that intent.

san mateo council the 10 year plan for the homeless, Lets start with some rent control in san mateo,hmmmmmm maybe it can stop some homelessness. the rent increases are getting out of control.[what rights do san mateo renters have] none none none we need rent control.in ssf,san bruno,all the citys of san mateo. I’m affarid I’ll be homeless, we just got an increase of 275.00 thats a lot. and I can get another next month and so on. so you tell me what protection to I have. My fear is if you don’t do something there will be lots of homeless in san mateo county.please take a stand for the renters we need help. the law should be maybe a 3% increase a year,just make it fare and affordable for renters. I’ve been renting for 20 years in south san francisco and all this time I thought I had rights.but there are none. its time for change. people are having it really hard rihgt now not just homeowners but renters to.who is helping the renters. hopefully you guys can do something or I will. thank you yvonne
