The County of San Mateo (the “County” or “SMC”) is committed to engaging hard-to-reach communities and ensuring they can access vital County programs and services. Many residents face significant challenges, including language barriers and limited access to technology, which prevent them from connecting with available resources. To address these gaps, the County seeks to collaborate with local trusted community partners who can bridge these barriers and effectively connect these hard-to-reach populations with access to County resources, services, and initiatives. This RFP is specific to Chinese (Cantonese and/or Mandarin spoken / Simplified and/or Traditional written) and Spanish language capacity for partners located in either Region 1 or 2 of the County (see map in Attachment F).
