Marin Grassroots has currently set up a task force to address inequitable housing here in
Marin County. The current and most pressing issue is the Analysis of Impediments to Fair
Housing created in response to the federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
investigation of the county. There is ample opportunity for the public to get involved in the
process, and we ask for your support at the upcoming public hearings and forums. For
more information on how to get your voice heard at such hearings, and more information on
HUD's investigation, as well as our response, please click on the links below. For more
information and how to get involved please contact Jannicka Murphy at
jannicka@maringrassroots.org or (415) 491-4366 x 302

Community Response to Analysis of Impediments

We have found that the Analysis of Impediments process has been inequitable and fails to
properly take discriminated groups' opinions into consideration. To read more about how
community leaders have reacted to this, please click HERE.
