Marin County showing great progress in helping unhoused community, especially veterans
Briefly

Marin County faces ongoing challenges with homelessness, but has achieved notable success in housing veterans and other vulnerable populations. The Ritter Center plays a pivotal role, providing essential services like medical care and food assistance. Since 2017, over 850 chronically homeless individuals and families have been housed, with 94% maintaining their housing. This accomplishment results from collaboration between the county and local nonprofits, allowing for streamlined resource usage. However, the community still grapples with 1,090 homeless individuals, indicating that continued efforts are necessary to further address this issue.
Since 2017, Marin County has successfully housed 850 chronically homeless individuals and families, with a remarkable 94% retention rate in their housing.
We all end up interacting with the same people who are experiencing homelessness, so when we work as one agency, we can use resources best.
