They don’t know who to call, or whether the issue would be fixed in a timely fashion.
As the Co-Chair of San Mateo County Home for All Initiative and Supervisor of District 4, I had the honor to speak at the grand opening of the Sequoia Belle Haven Senior Living in Menlo Park.

It entailed a partnership between the public and private sectors, and a method of financing crucial to growing our housing stock.
