Updated 3:15 p.m.: San Mateo County officials confirmed on Thursday that they had chosen LifeMoves to be the permanent operator of the new Coastside transitional housing shelter. LifeMoves is one of two well-known social service organizations that answered San Mateo Countyâs request for proposals seeking a permanent operator for the Highway 1 shelter that until recently was a hotel. County manager Mike Callagy plans to formally announce the choice at the Half Moon Bay City Council meeting on Tuesday. The Coastside Inn was converted into the areaâs first-ever shelter after the county purchased the 52-room hotel with $8 million from federal CARES act funding. As late as February, it sheltered 10 unhoused people â all from the Coastside â who were either over 65 or dealing with preexisting health conditions that left them at heightened risk for COVID-19. It was operated by Samaritan House in the beginning, but officials said they would seek a permanent arrangement through a more normalized bidding process and include the city of Half Moon Bay in those deliberations.
