Community Development Agency
diverse hands coming together to form circle

Individuals representing all areas of Marin and members of the protected classes, young adults, and individuals from low-income communities were selected to form the Community Advisory Group.

  • Collaborate and participate in inclusive and broad discussions on a variety of housing-related topics; and
  • Consider action plans and solutions for addressing barriers to fair housing choice.
