The Board of Supervisors is seeking bold, innovative ideas to execute Measure K funding to provide services to residents in three priority areas: children, families and seniors; emergency preparedness; and housing and homelessness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Mateo County announced Friday the release of Measure K funding opportunities to serve residents with innovative ideas in three priority areas: children, families and seniors; emergency preparedness; and housing and homelessness.<\/span><\/p>\n

The county anticipates that approximately $35 million will be available.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Board of Supervisors is looking for bold, innovative ideas,\u201d said County Executive Mike Callagy. \u201cThis is not business as usual. This is a great opportunity to make a real difference, drive equity and improve lives here in San Mateo County.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Applicants may be non-profit organizations, private companies, or joint ventures of any size, however individual projects are not eligible to apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement is a continuation of a process that began months ago to listen to residents about the needs of their community, with applicants expected to tailor proposals to address those needs in priority areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some examples include providing additional transportation options for seniors and people with disabilities, developing linguistically and culturally diverse child care centers and home-based options, providing emergency housing assistance, and developing specific community plans to address natural hazards such as fires, earthquakes, and floods.<\/span><\/p>\n

The funds will come from Measure K, a voter-approved, countywide half-cent sales tax that provides local funding for local needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Information about the process and future public meetings will be posted on the <\/span>County website.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Potential applicants are directed to the county's procurement portal, where they must register to obtain more details about this funding opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n
