Across Marin, the Bay Area, and California, homelessness remains a top concern. Over the last two years, the County of Marin, the City of San Rafael, local service providers, and a variety of community stakeholders have come together to envision and implement an entirely new approach to solving the challenge. To present an update on the latest developments on this critical topic, we have invited some of the key players who help direct the community’s efforts in this sphere, identified below. Please join us on March 7th to learn more about:

Pivoting an Entire System of Care:

The new process our community is using to “right-size” housing and prioritize the chronically homeless
The County’s new “Whole Person Care” program addressing high medical users
