We’re in the news! 🎉 HIP Housing was recently featured in the San Mateo County Daily Journal, highlighting our Home Sharing Program and the real connections it creates.

“Sometimes you don’t look for a home. Sometimes home finds you.” That’s what home seeker Sarah Lawlor said after being matched with home provider Rudy Ramirez through HIP Housing, one of thousands of stories like hers across San Mateo County.

Home provider Irene Taylor also had high praise for the program, stating, "The program’s knack for bringing people together and nurturing these vital relationships is truly a testament to how thoughtfully it’s put together."

For over 40 years, we’ve helped neighbors find safe, affordable housing by matching people with a spare room to those who need one.

It's National Nonprofit Day, and what better way to celebrate than by thanking all who support our work and help fulfill HIP Housing's mission of investing in human potential by improving the housing and lives of people in our community!

Tag someone who makes HIP Housing's mission possible — a staff member, board member, or volunteer who's helped connect our neighbors to a place to call home.
