Affordable Housing Week: Vendome Hotel
May 14, 2009 – 1:35 pmOn Tuesday, May 12, the City of San Mateo and Shelter Network rededicated the Vendome Hotel as supportive housing for formerly homeless single adults. The hotel serves 15 men and two women, plus a resident manager.
The San Mateo Daily Journal carried a brief item and a photo in Wednesday’s paper.
The San Mateo County Times print edition has a photo today (Thurs. 5/14), but it doesn’t appear to be online.
A city staff member took some photos, and if we get permission we’ll try to post one here.

Heather Stewart from City of San Mateo gave me permission to repost her photos, so here are two.

Talk about memories; I remember the Vendone when it was a true ‘flophouse’ 30 years ago.
My hat is off to the City of San Mateo, and friends for stepping up and rehabbing that once dilapidated building.
