Helping People Find Their Way

At Community Action Marin, we help people find their own way to thrive, financially and beyond. Thriving is not just a matter of money, our coaches help individuals and families design the lives they want, based on their unique needs and goals.  Coaches help members access stabilization supports, including rental, cash, energy and CalFresh assistance, through our agency’s Safety Net Services program and partnerships with local community based and governmental agencies. They provide hands-on support with navigating multiple agencies’ intake systems to ensure members are able to access the full breadth of services for which they are eligible. We help you define your own version of success and transform your life. 

Our team of staff and skilled volunteers brings special expertise in things like affordable housing, public benefits, and more. We also enlist partners such as Make It Home Bay Area, Front Porch, San Francisco-Marin Food Bank, and others to bring their services to our members.

Services

Housing Navigation

Low-cost housing is extremely difficult to secure in Marin. Our seasoned Housing Navigator helps members uncover timely information on shared housing options, Section 8 housing vouchers, and subsidized housing. Members get high-touch personal assistance with their housing search, best practices on how to present themselves to a landlord and how to be a good tenant, help developing housing resumes and letters of reference, and external referrals to our network of trusted landlords and housing programs.

CalFresh Assistance

CalFresh, federally known as the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP), supports the food needs of low-income households by providing a free food debit card. Individuals receive a monthly food subsidy on their debit card and can use it to purchase groceries from participating grocery stores and farmer’s markets. They can also purchase seeds and plants that produce food. Our coaches and Client Intake Specialists screen individuals to determine if they are likely eligible for the program and provide assistance with onsite application, document submission, and renewal.
