San Mateo County received funding Wednesday to build its 240-unit homeless shelter navigation center, a key component of its plan to end homelessness this year.
At the center's construction site in Redwood City, Rep. Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, held a news conference to announce the $500,000 contribution to the homeless shelter.
The money comes from a federal Community Project Funding grant that Speier received, which will help furnish the center.
