This project will provide 65 temporary individual cabins and on-site support services designed to provide residents with a stable, private space. In the long term, this site will become a deed-restricted affordable housing development.

During this meeting, you will learn about how:

  • We will ensure neighborhood safety, security, and cleanliness.
  • The site will be managed, staffed, and secured.
  • This effort builds on the success of the downtown Sanctioned Camping Area.

The Zoom webinar will include a presentation, and staff will respond to questions posted in the Q&A chat. Please feel free to submit questions in advance by emailing endhomelessness@cityofsanrafael.org.

Who Should Attend:

San Rafael’s residents, business owners, community members, and anyone interested in learning more about the project and the City and County’s coordinated approach to addressing homelessness.
