Since 1974, Homeward Bound of Marin has helped people unlock new futures and untapped potential. We have supported families and individuals to find stability, set goals for the future, secure long-term housing, access medical and mental health services and develop employment skills.

New homes in Novato

We’re building affordable housing for veterans, families and people leaving homelessness behind next to our headquarters in Novato.

This $38 million project includes 24 homes for heroes at Puett Place to bring Marin County to the brink of ending veteran homelessness. The building is complete and we expect this community to be fully occupied by the end of 2024.

We cut the ribbon in November on 26 more apartments at Sweeney Place for people transitioning out of homelessness. Work continues on space to expand our culinary enterprises.

Expanding our social enterprise businesses

Homeward Bound’s mission-driven businesses offer a place to build skills and provide supportive employment for graduates from our Fresh Starts Culinary Academy. Revenue from these businesses is reinvested in housing, training and career development for people overcoming homelessness and lack of opportunity.
