    • In response to a HUD Notice of Funding Opportunity, the Housing Authority of San Mateo County (HACSM) has successfully competed in collaboration with the Daly City/San Mateo County Continuum of Care (CoC) to receive an award of 40 new Stability Vouchers, coupled with a grant of more than $3.5 million provided to the COC for supportive services. San Mateo County is one of only 62 COC communities nationwide to receive a total of 3,300 Stability Vouchers (a special allocation of Housing Choice Vouchers) that will allow people experiencing homelessness to obtain and afford permanent rental housing with coordinated supportive services. According to Ron Babiera, HACSM’s Rental Housing Program Manager, “This award builds on our success in implementing the pandemic-era Emergency Housing Vouchers through a strong working relationship with our partners at the Center on Homelessness.”
