PROGRAM: KEY ACHIEVEMENTS AND OUTCOMES HLC continues to advance solutions to the housing crisis in San Mateo County through policy advocacy, coalition leadership, community organizing, and leadership development. As a membership organization, HLC works with partners across sectors to expand and preserve affordable housing, strengthen tenant protections, and build community support for equitable housing policy. Housing Advocacy and Systems Change:HLC continued to work in broad coalitions to advance policies and funding streams that support affordable housing production and preservation across the county. In 2025, local and regional public investments continued to scale, including county-level funding commitments supporting hundreds of new affordable homes across multiple jurisdictions serving low-income families, seniors, farmworkers, people with disabilities, and residents experiencing homelessness. Language Justice and Community Participation:HLC continued expanding bilingual programming and language access in events and communications, ensuring broader community participation in housing policy conversations and advocacy efforts. This work strengthens representation of historically underrepresented residents in regional housing decision-making. Community Leadership and Coalition Building:HLC continued developing housing champions and convening cross-sector leaders, including nonprofit organizations, faith communities, business leaders, and public agencies, to advance local housing solutions. HLCs core strategy includes training housing champions, building community support, and coordinating coalition-based advocacy to address root causes of the housing shortage. Public Education and Community Engagement:Through major convenings like Housing Leadership Day and Affordable Housing Month, as well as smaller community events and trainings year-round, HLC continues to increase public understanding of housing needs, trends, and solutions while strengthening the regional housing advocacy ecosystem.

The event included multiple workshop sessions covering topics such as commercial-to-housing conversion, ADU starter homes, inclusive housing strategies, federal housing funding impacts, and financing tools for affordable housing development.Housing Leadership Day continued HLCs commitment to language justice by offering full bilingual programming with simultaneous Spanish interpretation for all sessions, expanding access and participation in regional housing conversations. The event marked 25 years of convening cross-sector housing leaders to share solutions and advance policies that address the regional housing crisis. Affordable Housing Month (AHM) takes place each spring and includes multiple educational and community engagement events throughout May. In 2025, HLC partnered on and hosted events including educational tours of affordable housing developments, such as a countywide bus tour highlighting real-world examples of affordable housing and demonstrating how local jurisdictions, school districts, and nonprofit developers are working together to address the housing crisis. These events provide community members, advocates, and leaders with practical understanding of how affordable housing is financed, developed, and implemented locally. Through these educational initiatives, HLC continues to convene diverse stakeholders, strengthen regional collaboration, and increase public understanding of affordable housing development and policy.
