Elected Officials Homeless Subcommittee Report
The Proposal
Community
Homeless
Fund
• Expand existing,
successful programs
• Pilot new programs or
approaches in Marin,
which are proven to
work elsewhere
Initially funded by Marin County
and each of the cities and towns
• All jurisdictions would commit to a 3 year
funding cycle so additional services for the
community can be developed and piloted.
• Cities would pay according to their
population size, as well a percentage to be
shared equally.
• Ideally, the fund could be used to collect
private donations so that city and town
contributions are leveraged.
REST would be the first program
to benefit from the fund.
Timeline leading to today
1. In 2014, the MCCMC Subcommittee studied
the countywide issue of homelessness.
2. Concurrently, Marin Organizing Committee
(MOC) requested funding from numerous
jurisdictions to pay for a permanent location
for REST. j ►

3. In January 2015, MOC refined their proposal
to include an expansion of REST in its
current form while a permanent 24/7
homeless service center (which includes
REST) is developed and built.
4. In January 2015, Homeless Policy Steering
Committee members proposed a
Community Homeless Fund to meet the
needs of REST and other programs.
5. In February 2015, MCCMC Subcommittee
members considered proposal and agreed
to present to their City Councils.
