WHEREAS, on October 1, 2017, the County of Marin and local homeless service

homelessness with housing and services; and

people who had been experiencing chronic homelessness have been housed; and
WHEREAS, over 90% of the chronically homeless persons housed through
Coordinated Entry have remained housed; and
WHEREAS, there are still people experiencing chronic homelessness in San
Rafael and the rest of Marin County who would greatly benefit from supportive housing
and services; and
WHEREAS, with new economic resources becoming available for services to assist
people experiencing homelessness, the County of Marin and local cities and towns have
been discussing the possibility of pooling local city and town resources to create a new
“city-funded case management” option, that would provide additional case management
support for people experiencing chronic homelessness and would allow our community to
prioritize more of the most high-needs people for permanent supportive housing;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of San
Rafael hereby approves and authorizes the City Manager to negotiate and enter into an
Agreement with the County of Marin and/or with other local jurisdictions, in a form to be
