| |  DepartmentsWorkforce Housing in San CarlosThe City of San Carlos’ Affordable Housing Program is intended to increase the housing supply for a broad range of households with varying income levels compared to the median income for San Mateo County. Several Below Market Rate (BMR) housing units, (primarily ownership but some rental units) have been legally restricted to occupancy by households of specific income levels. Additionally, new units may continue to be produced as a result of new development occurring throughout the City. Income levels are determined annually by the State of California Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) countywide. San Mateo County income limits for 2012 are:

Periodically, these deed restricted ownership BMR units are placed for sale to an income eligible household, as well as rental BMR units becoming available for occupancy to an income eligible household. The City maintains a waiting list for individuals who may be interested in either purchasing a BMR unit and/or renting a BMR unit. When BMR units become available, the City works with a designated real estate agent and/or property management company to begin contacting individuals on the waiting list to determine their interest and eligibility.
If you are interested in having your name placed on the existing waiting list for purchase of a BMR unit or rental of a BMR unit in the future, please contact Laurie Cudworth at (650) 802-4263, or lcudworth@cityofsancarlos.org. Priority is given to households that have at least one individual who either lives or works in the City of San Carlos and/or a school district serving San Carlos residents.
