Housing Leadership Council recently reviewed and proudly endorsed two of Mid-Peninsula Housing Coalition’s developments in San Mateo County:

2000 South Delaware Street, San Mateo:

The site of the former San Mateo police station, it is proposed for a 120 unit, mixed-income, transit-oriented development, with half the units affordable to lower-wage-earning families. The proposal falls within San Mateo’s Rail Corridor Plan adopted in 2005, which is intended to promote “to allow, encourage, and provide guidance for the creation of world class transit-oriented development (TOD) within a half-mile radius of the Hillsdale and Hayward Park Caltrain station areas, while maintaining and improving the quality of life of for those who already live and work in the area.”(Rail Corridor Plan, Executive Summary) HLC felt that this development not only serves this purpose, but also provides a creative design despite severe financial constraints as a result of today’s difficult funding environment.

636 South El Camino Real, South San Francisco:

Revitalizing an area along El Camino currently occupied by mobile homes, this 107 unit development, which also includes 20 supportive housing units, provides another example of South San Francisco's commitment to the vision of walkable, sustainable development along the "Grand Boulevard" that El Camino can become. Don’t worry, residents living in the mobile home park have first access to the new homes created!
