The Community Land Trust Association of West Marin plans to offer housing to several of the ranch’s 12 families on the county-owned lot at Sixth and B Streets, where it will soon place tiny homes.
It has already moved two families from the Martinelli ranch to CLAM housing elsewhere in town, and it is lining up other options for families for whom the tiny homes are not a good fit.
“The tiny homes could be ready as early as mid-March, but it depends on weather,” Jarrod Russell, CLAM’s executive director, told the Light this week. “We’re shooting for early spring, and I’m confident they will be ready by May or June.”
