Capital Campaign
Help launch 50 new homes to celebrate our 50th anniversary.
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.
Help us build a new housing and training hub
With a funding gap of $500,000, we urgently need your help to bring this vision to reality. You can make a valuable investment for the future with a gift today to launch new homes and careers. Every donation helps ensure robust services for people moving into our programs. A contribution of $100,000 confers the exclusive opportunity to name our new social enterprise kitchen.
New homes in Novato
We’re launching new affordable housing services 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. This program brings Marin County to the brink of ending veteran homelessness with more than a dozen residents already moved into their apartments.
We also cut the ribbon in 2024 on 26 more apartments at Sweeney Place for people transitioning out of homelessness. Work continues on space to expand our culinary enterprises, which will open in 2025.
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.
Veterans moving into Puett Place housing
Thanks to community support, the new veterans housing held a Grand Opening in June. Residents who moved into their apartments enjoyed celebrating the holidays with warmth and security at home.
