San Mateo County is slated to allocate $3 million more to fund the completed conversion of a South San Francisco hotel into permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness.
For the past three years, the county has worked toward developing permanent supportive housing at a Ramada Inn located at 721 Airport Blvd., as one of the county’s properties purchased with state Homekey Program dollars.
The allocation of additional funds will “close the gap in construction funding necessary to complete the rehabilitation of the project, and pay for costs incurred during the predevelopment phase,” according to a staff report.
The Ramada Inn was purchased as a North County location with numerous quality units and proximity to public transit.
Former estimates for the total cost of acquiring and renovating the hotel was to be $15.35 million, which included $4.35 million for rehabilitation, according to the county’s website.
The property will be operated by Episcopal Community Services.
The $3 million would be allocated from the county’s Department of Housing’s Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget.
The allocation is slated for approval on consent by the Board of Supervisors at the upcoming meeting, Tuesday, Jan. 27.
