BACKGROUND:
As part of the County's strategic plan on homelessness, the Human Services Agency (HSA) and community partners provide a spectrum of services to support people experiencing homelessness and help them move back into permanent housing. One of these services is Rapid Re-housing (RRH) services.
RRH is a key component of the homeless crisis response system, as RRH programs provide intensive services to individuals and families with significant barriers to returning to housing. RRH is a type of homeless service that provides enrolled clients with intensive housing location assistance, time-limited rental subsidies, and case management.
On November 3, 2023, the County Executive's Office (CEO) released the Measure K Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for interested applicants to submit proposals to provide services in San Mateo County that target three Priority Areas: housing and homelessness, emergency preparedness, and children, families, and seniors.
Abode Services submitted a proposal in response to the Measure K NOFO, in which they requested funding to provide RRH Services. Following an evaluation process conducted by the CEO, Abode Services was recommended by the CEO to be awarded Measure K funding to provide RRH Services in San Mateo County.
