Donor Comments

"Marin County is confronted with an overwhelming need for affordable workforce housing. Workforce housing will help our company, as well as other local businesses, to recruit and retain employees, which will pay dividends and improve the quality of life for all in Marin. That's why we've decided to make a major investment of time and money to this important community need."

Mark Garwood,
President and CEO
Tamalpais Bank

"Frank Howard Allen Realtors is acutely aware of the shortage of affordable housing options for those who work in Marin County. Our community will be strengthened if we can find room for those who work in this county to live here, too. We believe the public/private partnership model that guides the Marin Workforce Housing Trust provides the best plan for funding workforce housing in our community – and we've put our donation behind that promise."

"Nearly one-third of our 200 employees commute into Marin to work each day. Many of the commuters would love to eliminate the hour or more they spend twice each day getting to work and home again. Unfortunately, the cost of housing - both ownership and rental - makes moving to Marin a difficult challenge. Workforce housing can make a difference by providing affordable opportunities for both renters and first time buyers. Our community needs affordable workforce housing in order to ensure that Marin County continues to be a great place in which to live and work."

Bob Griswold,
President and CEO
Bank of Marin

Steve Kinsey,
Supervisor
County of Marin

"All of us in Marin have a vested interest in the development of workforce housing. It speaks to economic vitality, transportation efficiency, environmental stewardship and social parity.
