2021 Impact Report

Affordable and Equitable Housing

Listen to Laurel Hill, our Director of Safety Net Services, speak to Community Action Marin’s advocacy for more affordable housing and the importance of protecting existing affordable housing for those most vulnerable in our county. This audio is part of the “Marin Communications Forum: The Housing Element and Affordable & Equitable Housing” which took place in November, 2022.

Marin Communications Forum – Celebrating Immigrants in Marin

Immigrants are a significant part of Marin County, as a percentage of our population and in contribution to our economy and culture. To ensure a complete and vibrant recovery from the pandemic, we must thoughtfully include immigrants in our policies, practices and decision-making.
