Very rarely do you find an agency that cares from the top to the bottom which you then see coming from back from the bottom up. I had the honor of working for this agency and have yet to find another like it. I thank you for one of my greatest experiences in my life. I currently work in a different state and use everything I learned at Homeward Bound here. Yes across the states there has been a ripple effect.

Mission: Founded in 1974, Homeward Bound of Marin seeks to end homelessness in our community with training, housing and hope. We pursue this goal with the vision that "everybody deserves a place to call home."
Results: In 2023-24, we served 981 people in adults and families. Of those exiting our programs during the year, 81% of families and 63% of adults moved to stable housing.
Target demographics: Homeless adults and families, including veterans, seniors and people facing persistent mental illness
Direct beneficiaries per year: 981 people, with 26% seniors and 13% children under 18.
Geographic areas served: Marin County, Calif.
Programs: Five shelter and 13 supportive housing programs that serve more than 500 people every night. In 2024, we will open 24 new apartments for unhoused veterans next to our Novato headquarters. This new building will make Marin County only the second in California to reach the goal of ending veteran homelessness! A second phase of construction on the site will add 26 units of workforce housing plus space to expand culinary training and our mission-driven businesses like Wagster Treats dog biscuits.
