COH works collaboratively with stakeholders to ensure that the County has a system to end homelessness in San Mateo County. Through early intervention, stabilization services, and financial assistance for households with housing instability, the goal is to prevent people from experiencing homelessness. Services are in place to engage and support people who are unsheltered to transition to interim housing, permanent housing, or other places where they can access needed services and supports.

COH is responsible for the federally required One Day Homeless Point-in-Time Count and staffs the County’s Housing Our People Effectively (HOPE) Interagency Council, and the Continuum of Care Steering Committee. Lastly, COH manages operators in County owned facilities, and works closely with other County departments to ensure safe and quality programming.

 

COH advances equity by identifying and addressing disparities in who experiences homelessness, who accesses the homeless crisis response system, their experiences with the system, and the outcomes of the system. Through a client-centered approach, COH listen and respond to the voices of people with lived experience of homelessness to create solutions.

 

This is a new position created to provide high-level oversight of the County’s efforts to address homelessness in San Mateo County. This critical role requires a collaborative leader to bring innovative ideas and transform big picture vision and goals into comprehensive plans for implementation focused on long-term solutions to homelessness. The Center on Homelessness unit is comprised of 2 Human Services Managers, 4 Management Analysts, and 12 Human Services Analysts, and one administrative support staff.
