Discrimination in housing impacts a community in profound ways. Sidewalks become less friendly, children grow up more fearful of others, and the cultural interplay that characterizes a healthy community grinds to a halt. In contrast, by protecting residents against discrimination, fair housing helps make our neighborhoods healthier.

In addition to our services for individuals and housing providers, Fair Housing of Marin (FHOM) also produces a variety of education, outreach and advocacy programs whose goals are to strengthen human rights and diversity in Marin county.
