Supportive Housing

About Supportive Housing Department

MHA’s Supportive Housing Department assists families and individuals with special needs to secure and maintain stable housing in the community. The Supportive Housing Department’s largest program is Shelter Plus Care, which provides rental assistance and supportive services to homeless where the head of household has a serious mental illness and may also have a substance abuse history and/or compromising medical conditions. The program is intended to help participants achieve three overall goals: residential stability, increased skill levels and/or incomes, and greater self-determination. The Marin Housing Authority ("MHA") also administers HOPWA, VASH and FSS programs. MHA also owns and operates almost 600 housing units, and administers about 2100 Housing Choice Vouchers in its Housing Choice Voucher Program
