Our Vision Marin will be a more economically vibrant, environmentally sustainable & socially balanced community when those who work here can live here.
About Us
As housing prices climbed in Marin County, workers had a harder and harder time finding housing close to their jobs. Understanding the long-term consequences of a severe shortage of workforce housing in the county, the major employers of Marin, in conjunction with the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce, initiated the idea of a housing trust as an innovative new source of funding for workforce housing.
These visionary employers, joined by other business and community leaders, were convinced that Marin needed additional workforce housing in order to:
- Attract and retain quality employees
- Develop a sustainable economic environment
- Reduce traffic and congestion on our roadways
- Improve the quality of life of our employees and residents
The Marin Community Foundation and the County of Marin pledged to match contributions and investments raised by the business community.
