Samantha Kozowski, director of supportive services, said the program had 137 enrolled participants as of Dec. 31, 2024, including 30 Golden Gate Village residents. In 2024 the program enrolled 28 people and graduated 17; graduates’ escrow distributions totaled $508,416, with the two largest distributions noted among the cohort. Kozowski described the program’s services as goal-driven case management, job and education support, credit counseling and homeownership readiness.

FSS coordinators Jackie Mendez, Myra Wallace and Natalie Claussen were introduced at the meeting. Two graduates spoke briefly: one said she paid off a car and credited the program for persistence; another said FSS and the authority’s homeownership pathway helped her buy a home and support family members’ education and careers.

Commissioner Rodoni moved to authorize the executive director to ratify HUD’s 2025 grant award for $446,814; Commissioner Sackett seconded and the board approved the motion unanimously. Kozowski invited attendees to a small reception after the meeting to honor graduates.

Staff said FSS outreach and enrollment would continue in 2025, with targeted sessions at Golden Gate Village and MHA’s main office and additional training for coordinators supported by the HUD grant.","The authority received HUD notice to ratify a $446,814 Family Self-Sufficiency grant for 2025; in 2024 MHA had 137 FSS participants and distributed $508,416 to 17 graduates, with several participants moving toward homeownership.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6678262,"Marin Housing Authority accepts FY2023 audit; auditors cite compliance exceptions and strong reserves",1729,3669000,5398000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2112841-e19d07658c635fd90bf15f42c58af003&start=3669&end=5398","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2112841-e19d07658c635fd90bf15f42c58af003/thumbnail_3669000.jpg","/articles/6678262/Marin-County/California/Marin-Housing-Authority-accepts-FY2023-audit-auditors-cite-compliance-exceptions-and-strong-reserves","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6678262-a79a17fee53a58d7a29959e2b4a8a73c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156615&Signature=lfwBFT~HuOjYvt-4Jm5iRBVh3a2WKHixojv30YpaIAt0aaRgRfEVI4hCY6n5vgbXKX-SbGtUpJZynDJfwA4txrTukHXe3jrBHGa61bVg3tKTapk9Kxo1zcK-6js6E7Tk7c5FhFmfI0EVSVxJAcBOnca8A9iXFEqSKFwyHx-gjE4j0pjd1qXC1Za9Wnx2Wq7K~OKl~y4aAOO5teYVin-wbOAg4MSJimZkX~lxyWBdnB4pR9kK8554TjG3BJX277K7E28xh3df3E3QWpUkrrnQXbw9NH4VZvp7nYMqlcEJ2NZMrOOwNYF2KOCfUj5ic8beWZGZKRWKPaexfIyiFwOMlg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marin County Housing Authority on Jan. 14 accepted its audited financial statements for fiscal year 2023. Novogradic & Company issued an unmodified opinion on the authority’s financial statements while issuing a qualified opinion on major federal award compliance due to findings related to eligibility, waiting list documentation and housing quality inspections.

Rich Larsen and Jason Blumenstock of Novogradic presented the audit. They said the auditors did not identify material weaknesses in internal control but found compliance exceptions within major federal programs that triggered a qualified opinion under the single-audit (Uniform Guidance) requirements. The auditors tested the housing voucher cluster and public housing programs, which together represented about 94% of federal awards expended.

\"We issued an unmodified opinion on the financial statements — the highest level of assurance — and a qualified opinion on the major federal awards due to certain compliance exceptions,\" Blumenstock said.

The audit package included management’s corrective action plan. CFO Kim Dolan told the board staff had already implemented many corrective steps, citing staff turnover that affected file completeness and the migration from paper to electronic files; she said that inspections previously performed by an outside vendor are now performed in-house with new monitoring steps to ensure failed units are placed on payment hold until corrected.

Auditors highlighted strong liquidity. Novogradic reported the authority’s current assets of about $16.3 million against current liabilities of roughly $3.5 million, yielding approximately $12.7 million in working capital — equivalent to about 11 months of operating reserves based on the authority’s monthly overhead.

Commissioners asked about cybersecurity overlap with audit controls; auditors noted cyber-attack activity discussed in public comment occurred after the audit period and was not part of the FY2023 testing but agreed human factors complicate prevention. The board voted to accept the audited financial statements and approved the audit reports; staff committed to report corrective-action progress to the board.","Auditors issued an unmodified opinion on Marin Housing Authority’s FY2023 financial statements but a qualified opinion on federal awards with findings on eligibility, waiting lists and inspections; auditors also reported roughly 11 months of operating reserves.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6678266,"Marin Housing Authority expands community outreach budget for Golden Gate Village redevelopment",812,1978000,2790000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2112841-e19d07658c635fd90bf15f42c58af003&start=1978&end=2790","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2112841-e19d07658c635fd90bf15f42c58af003/thumbnail_1978000.jpg","/articles/6678266/Marin-County/California/Marin-Housing-Authority-expands-community-outreach-budget-for-Golden-Gate-Village-redevelopment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6678266-efb4e666fe9c3d194b31e674ac31fe1c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156615&Signature=G-gO8AClb8MO3EdMB-ThtZkg5tZFgKk~xCPlg0rYMemwPAW4yYC8MIcaPdb1sqaGnpHe6l07m4Q47HC85D77Wawkfux6Za-PIlAG0NY2eA3RanuQ4k50ltdvXz40hJHQJaPoFrVNP5t1twX52dEdoHMkpLPivbAxaXIUJi57t58Mixcmmvf0eQFeh66ww69iRYMtTJgRhAbcCj27hfEQjnZA-fmElOimIPxiKD8ajd2qQqD~WsqVQN4xoKX5iEzRQTko3OdoMlZ6MMgA58DV9Q3ffishlRcXToL-~rD3PG6Cq3XS1Q3mj3i7Z7dw3SDE4SykR-BTyEat4GMCA0lUyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marin County Housing Authority on Jan. 14 authorized an amendment to its April 2024 exclusive negotiating rights agreement (ENRA) with Burbank Housing to add scope and budget for community engagement and resident outreach tied to the Golden Gate Village redevelopment.

Executive Director Kimberly Carroll told commissioners the added funds will pay for communications materials tailored to Golden Gate Village residents and for a robust resident engagement program to explain the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) process and keep residents informed through redevelopment phases. Mike Andrews, Burbank Housing’s development consultant, was available remotely to answer technical questions.

Public commenters pressed two themes: first, that residents should be meaningfully consulted before Burbank hires communications contractors; second, that the RAD application and physical needs assessment lacked adequate resident advisory board review. Mary Morgan, a Point Reyes Station resident, asked that contracting for communications wait until the resident council is reestablished so the council can review materials. Aura Hathaway, who has been active on Golden Gate Village issues, and other residents said the resident advisory board did not have an opportunity to review the RAD application before it was submitted.

Kimberly Carroll and other staff said the authority had met with the resident advisory board and the Golden Gate Village resident council at multiple points and that obtaining a CHAP (commitment for a housing assistance payment) on Dec. 12 positions the authority favorably as it proceeds. Commissioner Rodoni moved the amendment and Commissioner Lukin seconded; the board approved the amendment unanimously.

Speakers also raised concerns about the physical needs assessment for Golden Gate Village and asked for a second opinion, saying high assessments can be used to justify demolition rather than renovation. Maurice Macklemore referenced HUD regulation 964.11 to underline residents’ right to organize and be recognized.

Staff said they will continue to engage residents and that the resident empowerment fund and resident participation processes will be part of the redevelopment timeline. The board recorded the amendment vote and directed staff to continue outreach work while returning with more details and timelines in future meetings.","The authority amended its exclusive negotiating rights agreement with Burbank Housing to add funds for resident outreach and communications ahead of Golden Gate Village redevelopment; residents urged delaying consultant contracts until a newly reconstituted resident council can review materials.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6678270,"Marin Housing Authority approves $1.4 million IT services contract after cybersecurity breach response",3097,216000,3313000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2112841-e19d07658c635fd90bf15f42c58af003&start=216&end=3313","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2112841-e19d07658c635fd90bf15f42c58af003/thumbnail_216000.jpg","/articles/6678270/Marin-County/California/Marin-Housing-Authority-approves-14-million-IT-services-contract-after-cybersecurity-breach-response","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6678270-f51c1886274d458db0b2401a879389ba/orig.mp4?Expires=1771156615&Signature=CieG9OfR9YdrbCzL2UkuFzd8x~IkYqHWDVIOR7cQQsckdz3cG4sBdtac1DcQYHV3TRFtS5JdV08tWiE5QTFqUJt9hFBqabZdHuGPqqJwO4ykQCcNTHaTYD~jmjOdDb5~xqwWm3C-skkA2TEEO6d~Ows8iah~AGbpW4CXeGjUVdNPAs-tGa2jk0nsGyqfhMt~QDTnTFK78QwTKQgozllN4Vw1ySPh0NOruJxg8Ihr7Q2vYhVs-b4Q7iH17opcXPB8q639oAP2RlbwjnknTo9~xEyolw4Hb1xLUq3-Tg38JFT7lvcgQ1bHhZWqvO4hqfHT8ZdGSWhgP7uwX0KoJRahWg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marin County Housing Authority on Jan. 14 authorized a managed IT services contract with ConsultAd, Inc. for a not-to-exceed value of $1,400,000 over five years and approved an enterprise security risk assessment to follow a cybersecurity incident that the California Cybersecurity Integration Center investigated.

The decision followed public concern about nearly $1,000,000 the housing authority reported as stolen and requests that the agency pursue a forensic audit. Jason Balderrama, Marin County’s chief information security officer and a cybersecurity consultant to the housing authority, told commissioners that CalSIC, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the FBI were engaged for incident response and that CalSIC’s forensic team concluded there was no evidence of continued compromise after remediation.

“CalSIC did bring in their team of forensic specialists to analyze the incident, do remediation [and] conduct investigation. That investigation has concluded and at this time there’s no further evidence of compromise with MHA’s IT systems,” Balderrama said.

Executive Director Kimberly Carroll told the board the procurement followed the housing authority’s procurement policy and that eight firms responded to the RFP. The evaluation committee recommended ConsultAd, Inc. as the vendor best suited to provide IT management, strategic planning and cybersecurity support.

The board also authorized a one-time enterprise security risk assessment by Plante Moran. Carroll said the assessment will inventory systems and review business processes, critical data, applications and controls to produce remediation recommendations. Balderrama said he and the county will continue to support the transition and that some CalSIC recommendations already have been implemented.

Public commenters urged more transparency about the theft and stronger process controls. Anne de Vera Rosenfeld, a resident and former auditor, urged the authority to explain “who is going to be held accountable” and to provide the investigative report she had been told existed. Other residents recommended a forensic audit and staff cybersecurity awareness training.

The board voted unanimously to approve the managed IT services contract and the enterprise security risk assessment. Carroll said staff will continue to report back to the board as work proceeds and as results from the Plante Moran assessment become available.

The authority also is working to migrate agency email and web services to a .gov domain as part of cybersecurity hardening and external support through federal and state partners.","The Marin County Housing Authority approved a five-year managed IT services contract with ConsultAd, Inc. not to exceed $1,400,000 and launched an enterprise security risk assessment after a cyber incident prompted a CalSIC-led forensic review and recommendations.","actionData","errors"]
