Marin County Board to Consider $1.4 Million in Funding for Motel Rooms for Homeless

The Marin County Board of Supervisors will consider spending $1.4 million to help provide temporary shelter for homeless people considered "high-risk."

Motel 6 in San Rafael shelters recipients of Project Roomkey, a program established by the state's Department of Social Services last March to give homeless people a place to stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If the board, which will discuss the matter at its Tuesday meeting, agrees to the funding, more than 40 Motel 6 rooms will be available.

The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
