Serving the Community for 27 years HIP Housing was founded in 1972 to initiate programs to assist the disadvantaged and disabled living within San Mateo County. In 1979, recognizing a lack of affordable housing in the community, HIP Housing developed its Homesharing Help and Information Program and began to focus on expanding the pool of affordable housing in the community. Since then, HIP Housing has made over 10,000 homesharing placements and has opened three satellite offices in Redwood City, Daly City and South San Francisco, in addition to its main office in San Mateo. HIP Housing is governed by a Board of Directors made up of community leaders. Funding is provided by the County of San Mateo, various cities in the county, private donations from caring individuals, as well as businesses and foundations.
Volunteers help with generous donations of their time, skills, and services.
