Main Street Park is managed by MidPen Housing.
Built on former agricultural land along Main Street in downtown Half Moon Bay, Main Street Park construction began in the early 1990s and was completed in two phases: 36 affordable family units in 1996, and 28 units in 2001. Its first phase recently underwent an extensive rehabilitation. Main Street Park maintains the charming, small-town feel of Main Street with front porches and traditional coastal architectural details like shiplap siding. At the center of the site is a small public park with a play structure and open space. Adjacent to the park is the community building, computer center, and management office. Main Street Park was awarded the Gold Nugget award for Best Affordable (Attached) Property at the 2002 Pacific Coast Builders Conference (PCBC) and Project of the Year from Merritt Community Capital Corporation.

Since this property has received funding in part through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, a certain number of units are set aside for lower income households. Households must earn either less than 50% or 60% of the area median income (depending on the set-aside option chosen by the property owner) to qualify for these units. Rents in these units are capped at a maximum of 30% of the set-aside area median income (adjusted for unit size). Some rental units in this property may not be subject to LIHTC and therefore have higher rents and no maximum household income requirement.
This project has received some funding from a participating jurisdiction (local or state government agency) through the HUD HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME). In projects with five or more HOME-assisted units, at least 20% of these units must be occupied by families earning 50% or less of area median income (AMI). All other HOME-assisted units must be occupied by families earning 80% or less of AMI, but in practice most are reserved for families earning 60% or less AMI. Maximum monthly rent is capped with a Low HOME Rent for <50% AMI units and a High HOME Rent for the remaining HOME-assisted units. Contact the property directly for the specific dollar amount of these rent caps.
