Affordable Housing & Homelessness
Every person deserves to live in a safe and secure home. However, the high cost of housing and limited supply of affordable homes in Marin forces many of our neighbors into unjust housing situations.
What's at stake
1,100 of our neighbors are currently without a home. Nearly half of our county's households spend more than 30% of their income on housing. 62% of Marin county workers live outside the county and commute to work.
Marin's high cost of housing harms a wide range of people, and we simply cannot be a vibrant and diverse community unless housing costs decline, and more housing is built. Period.
Our vision
To address housing issues effectively will require billions of dollars. So we can't do this alone. We will collaborate with community leaders and experts to identify critical intervention points in the continuum from homelessness to homeownership. We will seek opportunities to leverage our funding to prevent and resolve homelessness, protect tenants, preserve affordability, and produce more housing.
