Affordable  Housing Dashboard

The DOH Dashboard displays information on all housing development activity funded by the Department of Housing since 2012. Current data includes total units built, affordability levels (AMI), total funding given, and populations served. The interactive charts can show data as the County at-large, and it can be sorted by jurisdiction, project name, construction status, and types of funding use. 

Affordable Housing Fund Dashboard

In April 2013, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors approved the allocation of approximately $13.4 million of unrestricted General Funds for affordable housing.  These unrestricted general funds – which initiated the County’s Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) – were set aside to provide financial assistance for the development of multifamily affordable rental housing and provision of emergency and transitional shelter in the County. The Board directed the County’s Department of Housing to develop allocation guidelines and recommend projects for funding. Since 2013, HCD has provided funding to 63 projects totaling 4,522 housing units, mostly rental but with a handful of owner-occupied units. 2,339 of the HCD-funded units are occupied, 588 are under construction, and 1,595 are in predevelopment.
