Following a settlement agreement with the Sausalito Homeless Union, the Marinship Park encampment was officially closed on the morning of Tuesday, August 16. As of that time, all people who were encampment residents earlier in the month had relocated to temporary indoor housing.

Under the agreement, 30 individuals will be eligible for a rehousing stipend of $18,000. The Sausalito Homeless Union is responsible for managing the funds and ensuring that former encampment residents are placed into appropriate long-term housing, with the assistance of a housing coordinator provided by the City of Sausalito.

Marinship Park will be closed to everyone indefinitely while the City's Public Works and Parks and Recreation departments work together to assess and restore the park.

The City is actively seeking funds from the State of California and the County of Marin to offset costs related to the encampment and the settlement agreement.
