City Of San Rafael: SSA Update: Meditation Stories + Weather Support

Press release from the City of San Rafael:

December 17, 2021

The City of San Rafael continues to successfully operate the temporary Service Support Area (SSA) for those experiencing homelessness. Individuals are in a safe place (the City funds security 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) where they can connect with a variety of services including mobile showers, case management, charging stations, and food donations.  The site has an office space that allows clients to meet with case managers in privacy to help individuals move towards permanent supportive housing. The City’s community partners also continue to provide excellent onsite services throughout the week.

The rain and has certainly had an effect on the SSA, but the City and local partners have been quick to help keep the area dry. City staff has offered platforms to everyone to keep tents elevated and out of puddles with lumber donated by Golden State Lumber, re-routed drainage, and has offered plastic bins to keep individual’s personal belongings from getting damaged by rain. Thank you, Golden State Lumber, for the incredible kindness and support.
