The Marin County Board of Supervisors meeting on May 20, 2025, focused on strategic planning and housing initiatives as the county prepares for upcoming changes. County Executive Derek Johnson emphasized the importance of a workshop scheduled for next week, aimed at assessing the county's strengths, opportunities, and potential threats as they transition to a new organizational structure approved earlier in the day.

Johnson highlighted the need for introspection regarding the county's housing policies, particularly referencing a shift to a "housing first" approach initiated seven years ago. He acknowledged the progress made but stressed the necessity of developing a clear strategy moving forward, especially in light of changing federal budget conditions and the management of various housing vouchers.

Supervisor Rodoni raised concerns about ensuring that vulnerable populations, particularly seniors, are prioritized in housing programs. He suggested that the county explore ways to integrate the All Home initiative with the Home Safe program to prevent homelessness among seniors, especially as funding for other support programs, like LIHEAP, faces uncertainty.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to follow up on these discussions in future sessions, with updates expected on various topics, including housing and community support programs. The Board will reconvene the following morning to continue their work.
