If you’d like a hard or digital copy, have any questions, or would like more information, please feel free and contact Recreation Coordinator Anthony Schriver at 650-738-7461 or [email protected].

San Mateo County Fair Housing Survey

The City is working with San Mateo County on a study to determine which residents have the hardest time finding housing and what solutions would work best to address the county’s housing shortage.

This survey is not associated with a ballot issue or voting. Your responses are completely confidential and will only be reported in combination with other responses.
If you require an accommodation to enable you to participate in the survey, please contact Frankie Lewington at [email protected] or call (970) 880-1415. An example of a reasonable accommodation would be taking the survey by phone.
