| Finding
Affordable Rental Housing |
|
The
City does not own or manage rental housing and cannot
directly place people in rental housing units. However,
anyone interested in finding affordable rental housing
in Daly City can view the most current version of
the San
Mateo County Assisted Rental/Owner Housing for Low/Moderate
Income Households for affordable rental buildings
in both the City and throughout the County. Please
feel free to call any places of interest from this
list to inquire about unit or waiting list availability.
Daly City has played key roles in assisting nonprofit
and for-profit developers build affordable housing
in the City. The City has served as a financing source,
bond issuer and/or monitoring entity for past and
current (See "Residential
Affordable Housing") projects.
The nonprofit, Human
Investment Project (HIP), offers an innovative
alternative to affordable rental housing through its
Shared Housing Program. This program, which receives
City CDBG funding, helps match homeowners with rooms
for rent and renters in need of housing. For more
information on the Shared Housing Program, please
call 650-348-6660. |
