The Marin County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 11, 2025, focused on urgent housing needs within the community, particularly for families facing potential displacement. Residents from Rancho Martinelli and members of the Familia de Arantio organization voiced their concerns and requested support for interim housing solutions.

Enrique, a long-time resident of Rancho Martinelli, emphasized the importance of community stability for families. He shared his family's 25-year history in the area and expressed a strong desire to remain close to their established community, schools, and support networks. Enrique urged the Board of Supervisors to take action to help families like his avoid displacement.

Jasmine Bravo, representing impacted families from the Point Reyes National Park Ranch settlement, highlighted the systemic issues that threaten the West Marin community, particularly for Latino families. She called for the Board to approve the purchase of the Caf Law property in Point Reyes to create interim housing units. This request aligns with the shelter crisis declaration passed in March, which aims to address immediate housing needs.

Bravo stressed the urgency of the situation, noting that some residents face eviction as early as March 2026. She implored the Board to act swiftly, stating that the Caf Law property is a critical step toward providing necessary shelter for those at risk.

Barbara Freddy, another resident from Rancho Martinelli, also expressed hope for a resolution, reinforcing the community's collective plea for support from the Board.

The discussions underscored the pressing need for housing solutions in Marin County, as residents seek to maintain their homes and community ties amid ongoing challenges. The Board's response to these requests will be crucial in determining the future stability of families in the area.
