The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors will seek a $5 million grant in state funds to help provide housing for local farmworkers.
The action was taken by a unanimous decision of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, with 5 votes in favor to authorize staff to apply for support that would finance the purchase of manufactured homes, possibly in partnership with the City of Half Moon Bay.
