San Mateo County has allocated $2 million to renovate and build housing for its largely low-income farmworker population, aiming to address long-standing substandard living conditions that garnered national attention after seven workers were killed at two mushroom farms in Half Moon Bay in 2023.

The county’s board of supervisors unanimously approved the funding Tuesday. It will support qualified farm owners and operators to bring existing units up to safety standards or construct new housing. The effort will roll out in two phases: renovations first, then new construction.
