The Coast Guard housing complex in Point Reyes Station is once again on the federal agenda. On Tuesday, Congressman Jared Huffman re-introduced a bill to give Marin County the first option of purchasing the 30-acre property from the federal government, for use as affordable housing. The Coast Guard told the Light last year that it had decided to close the facility and was offering its employees housing vouchers to live where they please. The House bill was introduced in November, but failed. Kim Thompson, the executive director of the Community Land Trust Association of West Marin, which has led the campaign to secure the complex—which includes 36 townhouse-style units, a playground and tennis courts, but comes without a sewer or septic system—said the previous attempt was stymied by procedural issues. “But we believe there’s bipartisan support… We’re really encouraging Senator [Barbara] Boxer to introduce a companion piece” in the Senate, she said. If the bill fails again, the Coast Guard could put it up for public auction as soon as October. Ms. Thompson has secured 40 letters of support from local individuals and organizations, but is encouraging anyone interested to send her organization more letters, which she will forward to Rep. Huffman, Sen. Boxer and Sen. Dianne Feinstein. The county Board of Supervisors, which passed a resolution supporting similar legislation last year, would ultimately sell the property to CLAM.
