Homelessness Planning in San Rafael

Like cities across the country,  homelessness is a top priority.  The City of San Rafael City Council is spearheading a variety of initiatives to address homelessness including: funding the Downtown Streets Team,  creating a Mental Health Resource Officer position in our Police Department, and providing individualized paths back to housing for our most at-risk residents through the HOT team.  

In early 2017 the City hired a Director of Homeless Planning and Outreach to  further strengthen the City's relationship with local organizations like the County of Marin's Health & Human Services, the Ritter Center,  St. Vincent De Paul and Homeward Bound of Marin.
