This project replaced 60 units of obsolete senior housing units as part of a major new "senior campus" that now includes 158 project -based units, other affordable housing units owned and managed by Leslie Garden, a senior center and an adult day health center. • HACSM and the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors leveraged Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) funds, along with unrestricted General Funds for affordable housing purposes, to create the "Affordable Housing Fund." This collaboration was made possible from MTW authority and has resulted in the development of multifamily affordable rental housing, a homeownership project, and potential agricultural workforce housing and funding for loans to secure, develop, or re -develop affordable housing units. In its' first year, HACSM invested $4 million through long-term loans, which enabled the leveraging of an additional $61 million in funding for affordable housing projects. HACSM has re -designed the processes for both initial and on-going eligibility determinations, easing the burden on both participants and Housing Authority staff and increasing the timeliness of the process. For example, HACSM implemented a biennial HQS inspection schedule for all subsidized units, with the provision that all units, at all times, must continue to meet HUD Housing Quality Standards. In 2014, based on the success of the alternate recertification schedule for households that are elderly or disabled, HACSM was able to establish a triennial schedule, creating additional efficiencies with no loss of program integrity.
