Workshops
Workshop 1: Beyond Business as Usual: The Role of Interim Housing in an Innovative Housing System
This session examines how communities can build more responsive housing systems when traditional pathways—including vouchers and permanent housing development—cannot meet the scale or urgency of need. Speakers will explore how interim housing, permanent supportive housing, locally funded subsidies, and cross-sector collaboration can work together as part of a connected system rather than as isolated programs.
Workshop 2: Building Affordable Housing in an Unaffordable Environment
Building affordable housing has never been easy — but today’s environment demands thinking more creatively than ever about how to bring quality affordable homes to the people who need them most. This session brings together voices from across the construction and development landscape to explore the real-world challenges of building affordable housing in San Mateo County.

Coastside Faith in Action
Coastside Faith in Action has members living on the Coastside from Pacifica to Pescadero who represent many different faith traditions and have a shared purpose of listening to the needs of marginalized people on the Coastside and working with them to create change. We are part of the wider Faith in Action Bay Area, a multi-faith, multi-racial, and cross-class network that takes its direction from and is led by those most affected by injustice, such as low-income families and workers, immigrants, and youth. We collectively believe that safe, secure housing should be a right for everyone who lives in our community, which is in one of the richest counties in the United States.
