Helping COVID-Vulnerable Homeless Population

While Marin County can be proud of its progress getting residents vaccinated against the coronavirus, it recognizes another crisis brewing. There is still a strong local emergency response effort to help to those who remain at the highest risk of contracting COVID-19, including those experiencing homelessness.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) continues to take advantage of a statewide program that helps reduce community spread of COVID-19. The program is called Project Roomkey, a state-driven initiative to provide COVID-vulnerable individuals experiencing homelessness with a safe place to temporarily reside and reduce risk of virus exposure. Locally, the program provides funding for 40 rooms at a Marin motel plus case management support and connections to health care coordination. The program recently reached full capacity of 40 individuals and will remain in place until funding ends September 30. Learn more in the County’s full news release.

In a related item, the County is looking for local property owners who might be interested in selling an existing building or parcel so it can be converted to support programs to address homelessness, especially those impacted by COVID-19.

Project Homekey is the newer iteration of Roomkey. It is also part of the state’s response to protecting Californians experiencing homelessness who are at high risk for serious illness and are impacted by the pandemic. The release of information about the property offer, along with a question form and submission information, are available on the HHS website. For priority consideration, submissions are requested by May 14. Learn more in the County’s full news release.
