Join Marin's Community Advisory Group On Fair Housing

MARIN COUNTY, CA – Marin residents interested in fair housing policies are encouraged to join a new community advisory group being formed by the county.

The Marin County Board of Supervisors plans to consider a work plan for the second phase of a process to fully assess fair housing practices in the county. The newly-formed community advisory group will analyze why there are different outcomes for residents in different communities and help develop strategies to identify and address disparities in community conditions that negatively affect access to choices in transportation, education, employment, broadband connectivity, businesses and services.

The county wants to attract a diverse group of candidates to participate in the process. Residents from all ages, races and socioeconomic backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Monthly meetings will be scheduled over the next two years as the county works on its Assessment of Fair Housing.

For more information, email the county's social equity programs and policy coordinator, Liz Darby, at ldarby@marincounty.org.
