All of us in Marin have a vested interest in the development of workforce housing. It speaks to economic vitality, transportation efficiency, environmental stewardship and social parity. The Marin Community Foundation is proud to join with so many others across the county in supporting this essential effort to protect and enhance the vitality of Marin.
Our Vision Marin will be a more economically vibrant, environmentally sustainable & socially balanced community when those who work here can live here.


We target our loans to fill critical gaps in existing affordable housing finance – as “first-in” money to purchase land, secure sites and fund pre-development work and as “last-in” money to close the funding gap for developments that otherwise would not be able to be built. Once construction is complete, the loans are repaid and reinvested in other workforce housing developments. For additional information, please see
