As home prices and rents have skyrocketed and homelessness is at "crisis" levels, In California, the Board of San Mateo County voted 5-0 to include additional Measure K funds in a plan outlining how federal, state and local dollars will be invested in housing and homeless prevention.

While federal support for local housing assistance and homelessness prevention is at a 30-year low, the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development sent $4.18 million in grants to San Mateo County this fiscal year.
