Budget

In November 2022, MHA’s Board of Commissioners approved a Redevelopment Framework. Included in this plan are a capital strategy and conceptual estimates for costs. MHA anticipates that an update to this financial plan will occur after selecting a developer partner. After choosing a developer partner, the financial plan will be further refined and reported.

Schedule

A master plan for GGV will be created after selecting a developer partner and further conversation and input from the GGV residents.

In the short term, MHA is managing the selection of a developer partner following the schedule included below.

Project Updates

Resident Matters:

Work in Progress:

Creation of a Right Size Housing policy for those residents who under-occupied (aka “over housed”) their unit. MHA to work directly with the impacted residents and the GGV Resident Council to formulate this policy. The policy's goal is to ensure no resident loses their housing because of the redevelopment and have the ability to remain at GGV in the right size unit. 

Work Complete:

• MHA in partnership with Sausalito held a community Health Fair last week for Southern Marin. This was a collaborative event with incredible vendors, service providers, H&HS, music, and fun. Thank you, Commissioner Canson and Supervisor Moulton-Peters, for participating in this great event.
• MHA is collaborating with the County and community partners in hosting the 2023 Marin City Job and Resource Fair. The event is in-person and virtual 3-7 pm on September 26th near the 100 lot of GGV.

Development Activities:

Work in Progress:

• Continued management of the RFQ process. Interviews with applicants are scheduled to occur in October. This reflects a delay due to the time needed to 6 of 8 confirm HUD rules and processes. Board approval has been shifted to January to reflect the additional time needed during the evaluation process.
• Parking lot light upgrade project at GGV through a Federal and County grant. These upgrades will not only provide improved security by increased lighting but will also allow MHA to provide security camera upgrades.
• EV charging – Assessments for EV charging. Staff are coordinating with MCE and Bay Area Air Quality Management District who are providing technical assistance and funding for the installation and operation of the charging systems.
• Staff will be working with GGVRC regarding the GGV playground structure upgrades; once the plans have been finalized, the proposed plans will be submitted to our historical consultant and to the County for the historical review determination.
• Stormwater runoff at GGV – Staff are working with County and State agencies to remedy the current storm water runoff from US HWY 101 onto the GGV hillsides.
