On Friday, February 4, the Sausalito City Council released the following policy statement on the tent encampment at Marinship Park. The statement is also included in the updated Tent Encampment FAQ.

The City of Sausalito is committed to treating all individuals experiencing homelessness with compassion and dignity. As such, Sausalito is dedicated to acting expeditiously and cooperatively to eliminate the need for the Marinship Park tent encampment by continuing, and expanding, partnerships and collaborations focused on identifying and/or creating a range of housing opportunities for persons who have no alternative for sleeping indoors.

Sausalito is in partnership, or is actively seeking alliances, with other governmental agencies, nonprofits, grantmaking organizations and private funding sources. Our partnerships include, but are not limited to, Marin County, the Marin Housing Authority, the Richardson's Bay Regional Agency, the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, and the State of California.

Sausalito is cognizant of the impacts an encampment has on the general public, including the public's use of Marinship Park, as well as the impacts on surrounding businesses, property owners, neighbors, and municipal services. Sausalito is committed to mitigating such impacts and to ensuring that the encampment is a safe environment for the campers and the general public.
