Equal Opportunity: Housing in Marin
KQED - December 1, 2011

PRESS COVERAGE ON THE MARIN COMMUNITY HOUSING ACTION INITIATIVE AND "DRIVING HOME ECONOMIC RECOVERY"

Driving Home Economic Recovery is a report released by Live Local Marin, a special initiative of the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California. This publication explores how new workforce housing can produce significant benefits for a local economy.  While the focus of the report is Marin County, the research should be of interest to advocates throughout the region who are working to build broader coalitions for needed workforce housing.

PRESS COVERAGE ON THE MARIN COMMUNITY HOUSING ACTION INITIATIVE AND "MILES FROM HOME"

Miles from Home is a report released by Live Local Marin, a special initiative of the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California. The report finds that commutes to Marin have increased and traffic worsened as home costs have risen. Live Local calls on cities and the County to zone for more homes affordable to people who already work in Marin, so that they can live closer to where they work and drive less.
