About Coastside Hope

Coastside Hope was established in 1976 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit human services agency to benefit the residents of the San Mateo County Coastside. The agency was previously known as the Coastside Opportunity Center but changed our name in 2006 to better reflect what we bring to our clients … hope for a better life and a more secure future.

Coastside Hope is chartered by San Mateo County to be the primary core human services agency for the mid-coast. Contact us by phone at 650-726-9071. Our Federal Identification Number is 51-0199747. We thank you for visiting our site and invite you to join us in our mission to provide hope to our neighbors on the Coastside.
  • We engage with empathy, compassion, and generosity.
  • We honor each person’s privacy and journey.
  • We trust everyone to be fair, honest, and respectful.
