Lastly, COH manages operators in County owned facilities, and works closely with other County departments to ensure safe and quality programming.

Through a client-centered approach, COH listen and respond to the voices of people with lived experience of homelessness to create solutions.

This is a new position created to provide high-level oversight of the County’s efforts to address homelessness in San Mateo County. This critical role requires a collaborative leader to bring innovative ideas and transform big picture vision and goals into comprehensive plans for implementation focused on long-term solutions to homelessness. The Center on Homelessness unit is comprised of 2 Human Services Managers, 4 Management Analysts, and 12 Human Services Analysts, and one administrative support staff.
