In the News: Emergency homes open in Bolinas

After work on Tuesday, a dozen Bolinas families received keys to their new homes in a temporary R.V. park just yards from their old ramshackle ranch housing. Children raced around the freshly graded grounds while their parents signed leases and toured trailers with staff from the Bolinas Community Land Trust, which plans to replace the condemned housing with permanent, affordable homes.

“On Tuesday evening, with gleeful children in tow, about a dozen Latino parents walked from the condemned Bolinas ranch housing they’ve been living in for years to an emergency R.V. park next door. Two rows of gleaming EVO Family R.V.s stretched across the freshly graded 2.5-acre lot, located in a rear corner of a 20-acre parcel at 130 Mesa Road.”
