STINSON BEACH HAS A HOUSING CRISIS
Skyrocketing housing costs and the large scale conversion of previously long term rentals into short term vacation properties have made it impossible for residents of modest means to remain in Stinson Beach and for young families to move into the community.
Working people - firefighters, teachers, tradespeople - are unable to find housing.
Our school population has been severely eroded as has the strong sense of community that previously characterized our coastal communities. This is why the Stinson Beach Affordable Housing Committee (SBAHC) was created.
SBAHC’s Mission
To facilitate the creation and acquisition of affordable housing in Stinson Beach California.
What we do:
Over the past 5 years the SBAHC has created 13 units of affordable housing in Stinson Beach. We work with the Marin County Board of Supervisors, Marin County Community Development Agency, Marin Housing Authority as well as local land trusts, property owners, foundations and donors to identify and promote opportunities for the creation of affordable housing. See HERE for more information on our projects.
What you can do
Tax deductible bequests of property or cash; below market sales of property; creating an ADU or JDU on your property; or donating your property in return for a life estate — these are all ways to create additional housing.
For more information see HERE. We are happy to help you with any of these options.
