Project Name: Scattered Site Assisted Independent Housing for Individuals with Serious Mental Illnesses Date: 3/06/2026 Description: The County of Marin is seeking qualified applicants to administer a housing and rental subsidy program for individuals with behavioral health needs who are eligible for Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Housing Interventions and, when applicable, Managed Care Transitional Rent. The program will provide safe, affordable assisted independent housing primarily through scattered-site rental subsidies and/or master-leased units. Its goal is to support individuals in securing and maintaining permanent housing, defined as settings with renewable leases of at least one month. The County will serve as the sole referral source, and placements will prioritize permanent housing, community integration, and alignment with each individual’s needs and preferences. Selected contractors will be responsible for administering rental subsidies, coordinating leases, issuing payments directly to landlords, and maintaining compliance with BHSA, DHCS, and Medi-Cal requirements. Subsidies may cover rent, utilities, maintenance, and operating costs, and will be structured to promote housing stability and fiscal accountability. Individual rent contributions will range from zero to 30 percent of income, with no one denied assistance due to lack of income. While the program focuses on housing administration rather than clinical or supportive services, coordination with BHRS, Homelessness and Coordinated Care, and other community providers will ensure participants have access to case management and treatment services that promote recovery, self-sufficiency, and reduced hospitalization.
