Capital Campaign
Help launch services for 50 new homes.

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 progress, secure long-term housing, access medical and mental health services and develop employment skills.
Help us complete a new housing and training hub
With a funding gap of $200,000, we need your help to finish development of our main campus as a unique nexus of affordable housing and supportive employment. Every donation represents a valuable investment in the future for people strengthening their resilience and opening wider career paths in our programs.

New homes in Novato
We’re creating new programs for veterans, families and people leaving homelessness behind in 50 new homes at our headquarters in Novato.
This $38 million project includes 24 homes for heroes at Puett Place. Our new community for veterans brings Marin County to the brink of ending veteran homelessness.
Our two-year project also includes Sweeney Place with 26 apartments for families and adults transitioning out of homelessness. The newly opened Gilardi Training and Events Center sets the last major piece in developing our main campus as a place of refuge, resilience and thriving futures.

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 settling into Puett Place housing
Thanks to community support, the apartments at Puett Place have become a haven for people who experienced homelessness after serving our country. Residents have begun settling into their routines in our campus neighborhood as they go to work, walk their dogs and gather for events organized by our staff.
