Mission
Homeward Bound is the main provider of emergency shelter, supportive housing and services for people overcoming a crisis of homelessness in Marin County, California. Our mission of "opening doors to safety, dignity, hope, and independence," is underscored by a vision that "everyone deserves a place to call home." We offer shelter, housing and supportive housing through 19 residential programs, in addition to an award-winning culinary job training program and an array of successful mission-driven businesses.
Program accomplishments
- Adult Program Services - Homeward of Marin provides shelter and housing for people overcoming a crisis of homelessness in Marin through residential programs ranging from emergency shelter to permanent supportive housing. In the 2024-25 year, Homeward Bound of Marin served 723 adults, including 50 veterans, and 63% transitioned to housing opportunities. There remained a strong demand for the innovative program for adults leaving hospital care without stable housing, resulting in 99 people receiving medical respite services, up almost 14% from the prior year. 224 adults received enhanced care plans with support from the State of Californias CalAIM initiative, which coordinates care more closely with medical providers while using blood pressure checks, nutrition check-ins, and other strategies. Homeward Bound continues to support vulnerable adults in shelter and supportive housing who face food insecurity by preparing and distributing over 16,000 meals a month to ensure their nutrition needs are met. In addition, Homeward Bound has achieved full occupancy for 50 new apartments opened last year. The 24-unit building for veterans and 26 apartments for people working in the community bring Marin County close to ending veteran homelessness and assist more adults to end homelessness in their lives.Expenses $10,717,158
- Job Training and Mission-Based Businesses - Homeward Bound offers the only free culinary arts training and job creation program in Marin County. The program specifically is designed to help homeless and low-income individuals overcome barriers to employment. Since 2001, Homeward Bound has helped over 1,000 people launch their careers through the Fresh Starts Culinary Academy. In addition, innovative social enterprise businesses provide a source of income and ongoing skill-building for Fresh Starts graduates and other low-income job seekers. Last year, 77 people built their career prospects through job training and supportive employment at Homeward Bound. An expanded job-training center opened this year, providing more training and job opportunities for people who are exiting homelessness and poverty as they advance toward new careers.Expenses $3,412,252
- Family Program Services - Homeward Bound has operated the only shelter in Marin County for homeless families since 1974, along with seven permanent supportive family housing programs. Families continued seeking support last year with a total of 124 parents and 145 children receiving services. Many faced challenges beyond housing needs, including domestic violence, chronic health conditions, and mental health needs. Parents aged 18 to 26 who head a household with children get special attention in a program that served 64 people last year. Families engaged in this program are building lasting resilience, with 84% achieving stable housing and 100% maintaining or increasing income. Overall last year, 89% of families served by Homeward Bound left for housing opportunities.Expenses $2,410,976
- Mental Health Services - Homeward Bound offers mental health services in two programs that provide long-term supportive housing. These programs serve individuals with a mental health diagnosis and include partnerships with Marin County Behavioral Health & Recovery Services and others. These programs are designed to enhance individual strengths and build self-reliance. With this wraparound support, fully 100% of residents in Homeward Bounds mental health programs maintained stable housing. Many increased their participation in community life with employment, group social activities, and recovery support services.
