What is HIP Housing’s
Housing Readiness Program?
The Housing Readiness Program empowers San Mateo
County community members to navigate our complex local
housing landscape. People who contact our agency will be
provided with support from experienced staff, volunteers
and interns to help them become more “housing ready”.
This support could include providing housing resources,
assistance with completing housing applications, and other
activities that help prepare people to enter housing.
Participants are encouraged to provide their name,
where they reside, and their contact information.
Optional information could include demographic
information, income level, number of people in the
household, and current housing status.
