A nonprofit organization has begun accepting applications from homeless households for affordable apartments in downtown San Mateo, according to San Mateo County officials.
For the less fortunate, San Mateo County-based MidPen Housing is looking to rent out 225 affordable residential units at the Kiku Crossing property located at 480 East 4th Avenue in San Mateo, county officials said in a statement last Thursday.
The property will provide homes for 22 formerly homeless households, eight people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and 57 “General Public Employees,” including county employees and other public entities, according to county officials.
Officials said the remaining units are affordable with restricted rents designed to serve a range of households.
To help with the property’s construction costs, the county’s Department of Housing invested more than $5 million of Measure K funds, a countywide half-cent sales tax extension, officials said.
