Hip Housing and ADUs from mdragony on Vimeo.

Here is the PowerPoint of the HIP Presentation.

Rethinking Your Living Space for the Future?

Are you living alone in a big house or with empty rooms? Is sharing your home an option for extra income or support? Want to learn more about Home sharing or ADU’s (aka Granny Flats or Mother-in-law units?)

Laura Fanucchi, Associate Executive Director, HIP Housing (Human Investment Project) will share how her group helps to match up people in a variety of home sharing arrangements in San Mateo County.

A representative from The City of Half Moon Bay will explain the ways the city is encouraging the creation of accessory dwelling units (ADU’s) in the Single-Family Residential Zoning Districts.

HIP Housing since 1972, housing 55,000 people, $600 average rent.

Many older people struggle with fixed incomes.

Many younger people struggle with minimum wage incomes.

HIP Housing will help older people earn rent, and have someone younger, or older, to help out around the house.

Win-Win!

HIP Housing does the interviewing for you.

It is a FREE county service.
