Marinwood Housing Renovation Costs Rise, State Funding Increases
What happened
Marin officials determined that renovating a former monastery in Marinwood for housing is more costly than initially projected. County supervisors allocated an additional $2.19 million, bringing the county's total contribution to approximately $4.1 million. The total renovation cost is now estimated at over $6.8 million, with $2.7 million coming from the state’s Homekey+ program.

Why it matters
The project, which provides affordable housing with supportive services for people with behavioral health challenges, required additional funding due to unforeseen costs like asbestos abatement and utility improvements. This necessitates increased allocation from both county and state housing programs.
