The St. James Community Development Corporation was created by the membership of St. James African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion Church, in an effort to provide sustainable and quality core services to the community of North Central San Mateo.

The inaugural project of the St. James CDC is the “New Beginnings” housing project. New Beginnings will offer youth who are transitioning out of the San Mateo Foster Care System, stable, permanent housing, as well as individualized wrap around supportive services. New Beginnings Housing is a small affordable housing project located in the heart of North Central, a historically redlined district and the least resourced neighborhood in the City of San Mateo. Consisting of five 264 sq. ft. units, this safe affordable housing village will be reserved for 5 young adults aging out of the foster care system, one of the highest risk groups for potential homelessness.
