The Center on Homelessness

The Center on Homelessness coordinates homeless services throughout San Mateo County. 

  • If you are experiencing homelessness or a housing crisis, please contact one of the Core Service Agencies, which provide clients with crisis intervention and referrals based on an evaluation of their needs and qualifications for assistance, and can provide referrals for homeless shelters and other homeless services. A list of the Core Service Agencies is available at hsa.smcgov.org/emergency-safety-net-assistance-core-service-agencies

  • If you are a service provider, the Center on Homelessness serves as San Mateo County's Continuum of Care coordinating entity. Members of our network of community-based organizations meet quarterly to assure that our system of care functions in a collaborative manner, providing pathways to housing for homeless families and individuals. For more information about the Center on Homelessness, please contact us at HSA_Homeless_Programs@smcgov.org.
