With $35,000 from San Mateo County and donations from community supporters, the new CoastPride Community Center in Half Moon Bay surpassed its fundraising goal of $75,000 and plans to hire a part-time administrator to help oversee the LGBTQ facility on a one-year contract.
Located in a prime spot in the coastal city s downtown district, the LGBTQ center officially opened its doors June 1 and launched the fundraising drive to help support its operations. The all-volunteer run group CoastPride launched in August 2019 with the goal to not only bring services to LGBTQ residents between Pacifica and Pescadero but also to open its own center.

Representatives from the local chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America also expressed their support for the firearms laws, along with other members of the public.
Horsley, the supervisor who co-sponsored the ordinance, said that there may be people with firearms licenses who could be selling out of a home. The ordinance would prevent that from happening.
A staff report with more information on the ordinance is available at https://sanmateocounty.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4976351&GUID=3DA68C48-7196-46F5-8EF8-350BD128D22F&Options=&Search=&FullText=1.
