Changing Marin’s System of Care
Determined to try a more effective approach to ending chronic homelessness, SVDP launched the Homeless Outreach (HOT) Team in 2016.

This joint effort proved extremely successful and now provides the framework for Marin’s new Coordinated Entry system and Whole Person Care services. By the end of 2018, SVDP and our collaborative partners ended chronic homelessness for more than 100 people.

Crisis Assistance
Each week in Marin County, volunteers from the Society visit people struggling to make ends meet in their homes to help them get through life’s struggles. The primary goal of these visits is to prevent homelessness.
