MARIN CITY — October 26, 2026. Residents of Golden Gate Village have a major housing-finance proposal to follow: Marin County announced a public hearing for October 20 on possible issuance of up to $160 million in tax-exempt bonds supporting a second phase of revitalization of the historic public housing community.

What financing would support

The California Municipal Finance Authority proposed the bond financing, while Marin Housing Authority and developer Burbank Housing are working on the long-term project. The stated objectives include improving living conditions, preserving affordable units and increasing housing stability for residents.

Importantly, the original notice describes a proposal to consider issuance of financing. The figure is a potential bond amount and not proof that $160 million had been disbursed or that renovations are finished. The October 16 county announcement describes a hearing scheduled for October 20. California58 has not separately verified the meeting’s final vote or a closing date for bond issuance.

Why residents need the official record

Bond financing can involve specific restrictions, project obligations and repayment structures. Households may also have questions about construction schedules, relocation protections and occupancy requirements. The county’s advance release does not answer all of those questions, so residents should consult the latest Marin Housing Authority updates and Board of Supervisors meeting documents.

Primary source: Marin County’s October 16 notice about the October 20 hearing. This story is filed under Marin County because a standalone Marin City newspaper edition has not been verified in the current directory.
