Mechanics Bank has been committed to building stronger communities for more than 100 years. The work of the Marin Workforce Housing Trust complements our efforts by creating an access to affordable housing for individuals and families who want to live and work in the same community. As a locally owned community bank we value this perspective and not only support the Marin Workforce Housing Trust, but also applaud their commitment to helping families stabilize their housing.

One of the challenges of attracting and retaining qualified employees is the high cost of housing in Marin. Workforce housing can make a big difference to the employers in Marin and also help attract new companies to our communities. A local workforce is the key to any successful business and to vibrant communities. Workforce housing development is critical to keeping Marin the vibrant, economically stable community that it is today and into the future.

Frank Howard Allen Realtors is acutely aware of the shortage of affordable housing options for those who work in Marin County. Our community will be strengthened if we can find room for those who work in this county to live here, too. We believe the public/private partnership model that guides the Marin Workforce Housing Trust provides the best plan for funding workforce housing in our community – and we've put our donation behind that promise.
