As the peninsula faces a severe housing shortage, San Mateo County is exploring where to plan for growth and ways to expand and protect the supply of affordable housing over the next decade.
The final plan will help shape the region's future, the county said in a statement, as communities that long relied on relatively affordable housing to attract new residents and drive economic and job growth can no longer count on that advantage.
The County has released for public review a draft Housing Element outlining the expected housing needs for the next eight years, from 2023 to 2031, which incorporates strategies to create up to 3,414 new housing units of various types in unincorporated areas.
