Questions and Answers:
Couldn't the old Bridge Point Academy on Grant (at 8th) in Novato be converted into housing? I have no idea who owns the property, but it seems appropriate for conversion into transitional housing.

What about buying the Americas Best Value hotel 7600 Redwood blvd?

Due to this complex requirement, combined with the critical timeliness of the transactions required, would Marin HHS be open to utilizing commercial real estate brokerage services for this endeavor?
This RFI is to identify potential properties for purchase. The County may seek brokerage services in the future.
what are the guidelines if folks are going to sell their personal homes in small neighborhoods - we've had some section 8 housing in a few homes and some were problematic, i.e. drugs - are the folks being screened for mental health issues? Who will manage these properties, many times when it is the city it is not managed well at all. We have experienced it here where I live. Where will they receive services they need close to home?
Guidelines are the same for all properties and are outlined in the RFI. HHS has issued a Request for Proposals for housing developers to serve as owner/operator of a Homekey site. Supportive services appropriate to the target population will be provided.
Please post a list of potential Homekey properties.
The goal of this RFI is to find potential sellers for Homekey properties. As such, we do not currently have a list of potential properties. Potential properties will be shared with the community when a list has been developed.
I would like to know where these locations are

Good Day, Me and my partner are currently homeless and working in Marin County. Usually we sleep in our vehicle but when we do have funds available we use it to stay in a hotel. Unfortunately we dont have enough funds to save in order to move into a stable place. Its important we do find something soon because my other half had cervical angioplasty exactly 1 year ago and being homeless doesnt help.

HI, I represent a district. We have some parcels within our district that are unusable for our agency. We have one undeveloped parcel in particular that would be very suitable for this project. This parcel was deeded to our district for the purpose of public recreation.
Wondering if selling this parcel for the Homekey project is worth pursuing?
Please submit a formal response to the RFI to enable further conversation about specific properties.
do you pay the going rate for the property ?
A property appraisal and will be conducted and negotiations entered for any property determined to be feasible for Project Homekey.
To be discussed at the appropriate time.
All questions must be submitted via the HHS website to ensure transparency.
Does the property to be considered for procurement need to be in Marin county only? Would a proximately near property be even considered? I am asking how miles out should a property be to be considered?
Properties must be in Marin County. If you have a property in a neighboring county, we encourage you to contact that county to see if they are interested, as Project Homekey is statewide.
