Your Membership Helps

The Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County is effective because of the financial support and engagement of our members. We have many membership levels to choose from.

Change is Possible: Transform the Future of the Bay Area with Your Donation

Together, we can make housing more affordable in San Mateo County.
Your donation to the Housing Leadership Council is an investment in a future where everyone can afford a safe, stable home.

We envision a San Mateo County where people of all ages, races, incomes, and abilities can live, work, and thrive. Everyone deserves the dignity to choose where and how they want to live, and your donation helps make that possible.

When you donate, you become a member of HLC, joining a community dedicated to housing justice. Here are a few ways YOU can make a difference with your gift today:

*Impact #1 – Fund community outreach initiatives, allowing HLC to connect with residents and gather valuable insights to inform housing policies and solutions.

* Impact #2 – Empower housing champions who will fight to support the preservation of existing affordable homes, production of new affordable homes and protection of tenants rights through training and organizing.

* Impact #3 – Ensure more San Mateo County residents have a seat at the table in shaping the future of our community through our language justice initiative, making events and materials accessible in multiple languages.

Now is the time to act. We’re building support for transformative, regional solutions that place people, not profit, at the center of housing in San Mateo County. Thank you for your contribution!

Your donation is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
