STATEMENTS-DATA
In San Mateo, the problems of families needing services are so large relative to
resources that service coordination and community organizing are vital. Some excellent
examples of service coordination exist in the County: The Homeless and Hunger Coalition;
The Children’s Executive Council; Adopt-a –School programs between the schools
in 24 districts and businesses coordination by the County Office of Education.
There is negligible information on community organizing. One exception is the set of
public forums and community discussion groups held in 1989 – 1990, called
"County 2000". The purpose of this series was to stimulate citizen interest and
participation in shaping the future of the county.
