HLC was deeply engaged with the Prop 5 campaign as a BAHA Coalition member. They publicly endorsed the campaign, organized phone banks and canvassing efforts to educate and mobilize voters. Although the proposition ultimately was not passed, the strategies used to support the campaign helped grow their base of supporters for future campaigns. * South San Francisco leaders stepped up by joining the SSF Anti-Displacement Advisory Committee, publishing a pro-housing Letter to the Editor, and hosting community meetings where residents shared stories and engaged with elected leaders. We are proud of their impact!* The County's Housing Element now includes policies for farmworkers and accessible housing, denser zoning, streamlined approvals, and more thanks to our coalition's work, since November 2022, to push for development standards, tenant protections, special housing needs, and affordable housing funding in the County Housing Element. Read HLC Policy Manager Jeremy Levine's report on our progress and ongoing efforts, including Measure K spending and Article 34 reform. * HLC took significant strides toward advancing language justice by hosting bilingual events, creating a Spanish website option, and expanding our social media capacity to include Spanish. We also launched a Community Interpreter Training program with our pioneering cohort completing the certificate program in February 2025, a program which we hope to see continued and expanded to further language justice in our community.* In October 2024, we launched Our Home San Mateo, a storytelling and resident engagement campaign in partnership with One San Mateo, the Congregational Church of San Mateo, and Peninsula Solidarity Cohort. The campaign aims to build momentum for policy advocacy as the city of San Mateo considers expanding tenant protections in the city.* HLC used Instagram and TikTok to inspire action and build community for housing justice. As part of Begins With Home, Kiana Simmons videos reached 2.7M impressions, with one earning 14,800 likes! Storytelling is a powerful tool to advance housing justice.* Our Faith Communities Housing Champions Program launched in February 2024 by HLCs Faith leader Rev. Penny Nixon, united 19 housing champions from 16 congregations across San Mateo County, to delve into the critical need for housing and explore how congregations can support housing justice advocacy.* In addition, 9 congregations participated in a 5-month long learning group on building affordable housing, with over half now actively pursuing projects on their land. In North Central, one faith community is building a 5-unit residential village reserved for youth transitioning out of the foster care system. You can check out the project here: https://saintjamescdc.org/new-beginnings In partnership with Menlo Together, HLC successfully advocated to rezone parking lots in downtown Menlo Park for 100% affordable housing aimed at low-income community members. The city is now working to release a Request for Qualifications to solicit developer interest. * After years of campaigning to end the exclusionary restrictions set forth in Measure Y in the City of San Mateo, voters passed Measure T by an almost 20-point margin, which will increase the heights and densities the city council can allow near transit and businesses, a first step toward overturning height and density caps throughout the city. Despite well-organized opposition, residents demonstrated they want the city to become more walkable and inclusive. * HLC continues to support individual affordable housing developments such as 320 Sheridan, which will provide affordable homes for Ravenswood employees (e.g. janitors, bus drivers, and cafeteria workers), and 555 Kelly, which will provide affordable homes for senior farmworkers in Half Moon Bay. * Additionally, HLC hosted several community events throughout the year including Affordable Housing Month, Housing Leadership Day, and a South San Francisco town hall to drive real change through advocacy, education, and community-driven solutions. 190668 PROGRAM: HOUSING EDUCATION Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County (HLC) hosts two significant annual educational events: Housing Leadership Day and Affordable Housing Month. Housing Leadership Day (HLD) is an annual education event held in the fall. Last year's event included 9 workshops facilitated by HLC staff and partners, where attendees learn about the complex dimensions of building, financing, and democratizing affordable housing. Over 250 registered attendees learned about secondary units, building housing on faith properties, housing elements, the importance of public land, Article 34 and its impacts on housing and shelters, and how to include people that do not speak English as their first language in the discussions about housing. HLC also had the honor of hearing from several keynote speakers from California's legislature and housing space, including Senator Scott Wiener and Reverend Marlyn Bussey.HLC dedicates a month during the Spring for Affordable Housing Month (AHM). Through multiple events scattered throughout May, HLC engages hundreds of housing supporters across San Mateo County to collectively learn, mobilize, and understand the positive and extensive impact affordable housing brings. Attendees get the opportunity to participate in informative workshops, groundbreakings, housing policy panels, and affordable housing tours in which supporters come together to recognize the ongoing efforts and power of our local partners, elected leaders, and communities. In 2024, HLC was a planning partner for over 6 events throughout the month, bringing together hundreds of supporters. 641764 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 21 0 true 17 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false true false true true false false true true true true true false true true false CA X THE ORGANIZATION 6502421764 2905 S EL CAMINO REAL SAN MATEO CA 94403 EVELYN STIVERS Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 130000 0 13333 KALISHA WEBSTER Associate Dir. 40.00 0.00 120000 0 11410 KALIMAH SALAHUDDIN President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RICK BONILLA Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MARC GARCIA Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NADINE MAKKI Board Member 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NATHAN CHAN Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RUDY ESPINOSA Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FIONA HSU Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 FLORENCE HSUEH Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MEG MCGRAW-SCHERER Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KEITH OGDEN Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL RING Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BELEN SEARA Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TAMI STRAUSS Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN TASTOR Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELAINE UANG Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RAYMOND HODGE Bd M-Ex Officio 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 250000 24743 2 false false false 0 267251 551235 818486 0 6592 6592 0 0 7276 7276 7276 7276 0 10600 267251 10600 0 0 Reimbursed Expenses 900099 11472 11472 11472 854426 18748 6592 X 0 0 0 0 143333 47300 47300 48733 0 556200 287248 106524 162428 0 49033 25606 9180 14247 54237 26095 11810 16332 0 17713 11208 6505 24250 24250 0 0 0 131167 126118 4440 609 16772 15009 1763 1119 238 881 0 0 12905 12905 8537 5940 2565 32 0 0 0 0 2786 2786 4824 4824 Communications 49073 40055 9018 Meals 32222 29455 1821 946 Meeting Expense 19560 19029 531 Computer expenses 17223 3908 13315 28680 4555 23023 1102 1169634 641764 283441 244429 537629 8870 494035 964231 0 220318 28938 4490 0 0 0 0 72200 0 26887 16440 12820 10447 0 0 0 11962 0 1341492 1024448 5972 3912 45417 45641 51389 49553 X 922603 712812 367500 262083 1290103 974895 1341492 1024448 -315208 X false false false X 578817 297526 1186786 541647 818486 3423262 145346 216594 21674 8425 17876 409915 0 0 0 724163 514120 1208460 550072 836362 3833177 0 0 3833177 1302 1828 266 201 6592 10189 0 1302 1828 266 201 6592 10189 0 31194 12968 78780 8651 11472 143065 756659 528916 1287506 558924 854426 3986431 0.96160 0.96340 0.00260 0.00090 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 4021 41035 45056 1124578 1169634 191963 47991 false 109766 87325 191963 389054 583581 108164 45056 153220 27442 21831 47991 97264 145896 9654 1921 4021 15596 13450 8294 5156 13437 8146 5291 10447 Payroll liabilities 10566 Vacation Payable 35075 45641 false AFFORD.HSG.MON. 144602 144602 HSG.LEADERSHIP 133249 122649 10600 277851 267251 10600 10600 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The finance committee reviews the Form 990 and then forwards to the Board of Directors for acceptance.
