Marin Voice: Cuts to permanent supportive housing could be disastrous

Permanent supportive housing is one of the few homelessness interventions that consistently works. It provides housing first, then allows people to rebuild their lives. In Marin County, that progress is now at risk.

Permanent supportive housing has enabled many people who once experienced years of homelessness to remain stably housed for the long term. Here in Marin, more than 700 people have been housed in permanent supportive housing since 2017, and 94% of them were able to retain housing.
