BACKGROUND:
The Emergency Financial Assistance and Homelessness Prevention program provides financial assistance to eligible San Mateo County residents to help those at risk of becoming homeless to stay housed, and to assist people experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis with a security deposit to move into a new rental housing unit.
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 specific areas: children, families, and seniors; emergency preparedness; and housing and homelessness. Samaritan House submitted a proposal in response to the Measure K NOFO that requested funding to continue providing emergency financial assistance services. Following an evaluation process conducted by the CEO, Samaritan House was selected to be awarded Measure K funding for Emergency Financial Assistance and Homelessness Prevention services.
On March 26, 2024, by Resolution No. 080240, this Board approved the FY 2024-25 Measure K Budget as presented by the CEO, which included awarding Measure K funding to Samaritan House for the Emergency Financial Assistance and Homelessness Prevention program.
