Affordable Housing & Open Waitlists
ABOUT
The Planning Division of the Community Development Department is responsible for the City's Housing efforts. There are currently over 400 below-market-rate units in the City of Foster City. There are eight privately owned apartment complexes with both market-rate and below-market-rate (BMR) units. The City of Foster City does not manage or own these units. The City owns 22 workforce units at 501 Pilgrim Drive and six 2-, 3- and 5-bedroom single-family homes and duplexes at various locations throughout the City. The workforce units include 14 below-market-rate units for very low, low, and moderate-income households. The six homes are restricted to very-low and low-income households, and there are no vacancies at this time. All city-owned units are managed by HIP Housing. The City participates in local and regional housing efforts, evaluation of housing opportunities as they become available, and programs to increase the supply of housing.
