What Is Marin County Doing About Homelessness?
Marin County is the biggest funder of homeless services in the county and is a leader in transforming the homeless system of care. We are proud to work across County departments, with the cities, and with our community partners to create a unified system to help house people and keep them housed.

Marin released a new report measuring homelessness mortality and capturing substance-related causes of death using an innovative approach. Our findings show that people experiencing homelessness are dying at higher rates and younger ages than the general population. We aim to shed light on this devastating, under-researched issue, inspire action that could save lives, and encourage others to do the same. We are proud to share this on a national stage through partnership with National Health Care for the Homeless Council.
