County of San Mateo Housing Opportunities

 

District Employee Housing Program  

In response to regional housing costs that are among the highest in the country, the San Mateo County Community College District has undertaken initiatives to assist faculty and staff with high housing expenses.  The District currently owns and operates 104 housing units at its College of San Mateo and Cañada College campuses, which are available to faculty and staff (who meet the definition of first-time homebuyers).  Employees are eligible to live in these units for up to seven years and are strongly encouraged to save the money from their reduced rent to apply toward a down payment to buy housing in the area.
