| Housing Our People Effectively (HOPE) Initiative |
| |
In April 2005, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors initiated a planning
process to prevent and end homelessness, which produced concrete
and realistic strategies to address homelessness in the County, with the ultimate
goal of ending it within 10 years.
Coordinated by the Center on Homelessness of the Human Services
Agency, HOPE is a ten-year action plan that brings together the business,
nonprofit, and public sector communities to address the challenging issue of
homelessness at its core, rather than manage it at the margins.

| Threshold 15/10 Community Engagement Initiative |
| |
In 2002, a group of civic leaders from diverse segments of the community
came together to address the growing crisis of the cost and availability of
housing in San Mateo County. A year later they launched a civic engagement
project that involved residents and stakeholders in four daylong community
conversations about housing, which resulted in a clear vision of the
kinds of housing policy choices that the public could be expected to support.
Threshold 15/10 is the next phase of the civic engagement effort. Their goal
is to create a more informed, active constituency for moving housing solutions
forward by mobilizing people own capacity to confront difficult choices
through constructive dialogue.
