One San Mateo’s Housing Ballot for the November 6, 2018 Election
In keeping with One San Mateo’s focus on advancing just, equitable, and across-the-board housing solutions, One San Mateo recommends the following choices on this election’s housing-related propositions.
“An alarmingly high frequency”: Legal Aid report on San Mateo evictions
From 1/1/16 through 8/31/18, over a period of 32 months, a total of 420 tenant households in the City of San Mateo sought assistance from Legal Aid with a housing problem. Of these 420 tenant households, 294 were seeking assistance with an eviction. Demographic characteristics of these households facing eviction include:
42% included at least one child under the age of 18
21% had a disabled head of household
18% had a head of household aged 62 or older
4% included a veteran in the household
What’s Going on with the Peninsula Health Care District?
What’s Going on with the Peninsula Health Care District? And why should people in San Bruno, Hillsborough, Millbrae, Burlingame, San Mateo and Foster City care? The District receives property tax money from those cities yet plans to use publicly-owned land at the site of the demolished Peninsula Hospital to build market rate housing few people can afford. This is happening while the biggest threat to public health and safety is a lack of affordable housing for medical workers and seniors.
One San Mateo Meeting
When:
7pm Wednesday
October 24
Where:
The Congregational Church of San Mateo
225 Tilton Ave. San Mateo
One San Mateo’s regular meetings have changed from second and fourth Sundays at 6 to second and fourth Wednesdays at 7. They will still be held at the Congregational Church of San Mateo. But instead of being held in a downstairs room, they will be held on the second floor in the library. We hope you will join us. As always, all are welcome. We will continue our work on advancing affordable housing solutions in San Mateo.
Affordable Rental Housing Policies Study Session
All those interested in seeing San Mateo do more to help renters in this deeply challenging housing market should make sure to come out for the upcoming study session at city hall. A range of modest but valuable policies which One San Mateo and its allies have been working to highlight over the past year will be discussed. These include relocation assistance (coupled with but distinct from red-tag relocation assistance), data collection on the rental market, enhanced Section 8 usability, and a boost in the city’s below-market-rate unit mandate. We want the city to use every tool it can to keep people housed.
