The Marin Environmental Housing Collaborative (MEHC) is now Call Marin Home, a new housing coalition in Marin. We are expanding housing through production, preservation, and protections for an inclusive Marin County.

MEHC serves as the backbone entity managing the coalition. Coalition members include Bolinas Community Land Trust, Canal Alliance, Community Action Marin, Eden Housing, Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco, Legal Aid of Marin, Homeward Bound of Marin, North Bay Leadership Council, North Marin Community Services, and San Rafael Chamber of Commerce. Together, these partners represent a broad cross-section of the community—spanning advocacy, legal support, business, and direct housing development. The Marin Community Foundation has provided funding to support the coalition’s initial work, including strategies to improve funding for affordable housing.

The name Call Marin Home was the title of the 2023 Class Project of the San Rafael Leadership Institute, which was funded in significant part by the Marin Leadership Foundation (MLF), a California public benefit corporation. The Class Project involved extensive research and public outreach, resulting in a thought-provoking video entitled Call Marin Home. The video illustrated, in personal terms, how the housing shortage in Marin County negatively impacts the local workforce as well as the communities they serve. With the support of MLF, the video has been used as an educational tool to draw attention to the need for more housing in Marin County. The Class Project’s name, Call Marin Home, was intended to personalize the lack of affordable housing in Marin County.

Donation receipts will read "Marin Environmental Housing Collaborative" until our transition is complete.
