HALF MOON BAY – On Tuesday, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a nearly $11.5 million contract to begin work on Stone Pine Cove, a new community in Half Moon Bay where dozens of manufactured homes are planned for Low-income farm workers and their families.
The proposed project will be located on five acres at 880 Stone Pine Road, about a mile from downtown Half Moon Bay. The new homes are expected to be ready for occupancy in March 2025.
The action follows a May 7 decision to allocate nearly $6 million to purchase and install 47 manufactured homes from Santa Cruz-based Bigfoot Homes for farm families, including 19 households displaced by the impact of the crisis.

‘Usually jurisdictions celebrate [and hold] groundbreaking ceremonies with special shovels and numerous officials to commemorate when work begins on site, and perhaps one day we will have such an event,” said Supervisor Ray Mueller. “But not today. Not this week. At this time, we are responding to the prayers of those waiting for a safe and healthy place to live with the urgency of this administrative action.”
The Stone Pine Cove property is owned by the city and the project is a partnership between the County of San Mateo and the City of Half Moon Bay. Using manufactured homes instead of building from the ground up means lower initial construction costs and faster completion, the county said.
