$4 Million in Federal Funding Headed to County for Farmworker Housing, Accessible Playground
Redwood City — A total of $3 million in federal funds is headed to San Mateo County for safe and affordable homes for local farmworkers. Another $1 million will go toward making play equipment more accessible and inclusive for everyone at Coyote Point Recreation Area.
The Half Moon Bay Farmworker Homeownership Project was given $3 million at the request of U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo and U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein, who died last year, and Alex Padilla. The funds will be used to purchase up to 20 modular home units for farmworker housing and create a new public recreation space for its residents. The housing units will be available for purchase by local farmworkers.
