Marin Housing Authority's recent service fairs are shining a spotlight on dozens of county programs designed to support public-housing residents across Marin. As reported in the Marin Independent Journal, the fairs bring together health services, transit assistance, nutrition programs, crisis support, and community resources-all in one place-to help residents access offerings they may not know exist. The Golden Gate Village event featured organizations such as the R.O.O.T.S. Mobile Crisis Response Team, Ceres Community Project's medically tailored meals, Marin Transit's mobility programs, Kaiser's free vaccinations, and the Marin County Free Library, among others. These fairs are part of a six-site effort to reduce barriers and make essential services more visible and accessible to lower-income families, seniors, and individuals facing health or mobility challenges. Beyond providing information, the fairs offer connection and hope. Residents shared stories of rebuilding their lives, seeking independence, and finding meaningful support-from transit solutions that restore mobility to life-skills training, community meals, and access to quiet learning spaces. Marin Housing Authority leadership emphasized that many residents struggle without family networks or consistent support systems, and these fairs aim to bridge that gap by bringing community partners directly into the neighborhoods they serve.

Marin County, CA — After more than 25 years with the Marin Housing Authority (MHA), Executive Director Kimberly Carroll has announced her decision to retire from public service. She will retire April 2, 2026 in order to support the onboarding of new leadership. The MHA Board of Commissioners will immediately begin a nationwide recruitment process for the agency’s next Executive Director, with the goal of identifying a successor by early spring. “This work has been both my calling and my privilege for more than half my life,” said Carroll. “When I joined MHA more than 25 years ago, I could not have imagined the depth of the relationships, challenges, and triumphs that would define this journey. Every success we’ve achieved has been the result of collective vision, hard work, and an unwavering belief in the power of community.” During her tenure, Carroll has led MHA through transformative progress in housing access, organizational modernization, and community collaboration. Notable accomplishments include: Advancing the revitalization of Golden Gate Village , preserving its history while investing in its long-term future; Expanding the Landlord Partnership Program , increasing participation among property owners and opening new doors for families and individuals; Increasing housing vouchers and programs to address homelessness , helping some of Marin’s most vulnerable residents achieve permanent stability; and Strengthening partnerships with nonprofits , service providers, and local governments to serve the diverse housing needs of Marin residents. “While stepping away from this work is not easy, I do so with deep confidence in the strength, resilience, and integrity of this organization,” Carroll added. “It has been the greatest honor of my career to serve the residents of Marin County and to work alongside such talented and dedicated colleagues. I look forward to supporting a smooth transition and watching MHA continue to grow and thrive under future leadership.” “Kimberly’s leadership has strengthened MHA in lasting ways,” said Supervisor Stephanie Moulton-Peters, President of the Marin Housing Authority. “Her commitment to equity, innovation, and service has left an indelible mark on this organization and the community we serve. We are deeply grateful for her decades of dedication and the legacy of stability and compassion she leaves behind.” Carroll’s leadership tenure as Executive Director began in 2022, following decades of service in senior roles within MHA. She is widely recognized for her collaborative leadership style and her advocacy for equitable, community-driven housing solutions. MHA will provide updates on the Executive Director recruitment and transition process in the months ahead. About the Marin Housing Authority MHA has served as Marin County’s public housing agency, providing affordable housing solutions and rental assistance to low-income residents since 1942.

MHA Introduction

The Housing Authority of the County of Marin, "Marin Housing" is a public corporation authorized to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing for low and moderate income people. We are empowered to undertake all activities necessary to accomplish this public purpose, including acquiring property, developing housing, issuing tax-exempt bonds, entering into mortgages, trust indentures, leases, condemning property, borrowing money, accepting grants, and managing property.


Marin Housing is separate and distinct from HUD, from county government, and from other county and state agencies - much like a special district. The Housing Authority Commission currently consists of seven members - the five members of the Board of Supervisors, and two public housing tenants. Marin Housing operates programs in the incorporated areas of Marin under Cooperation agreements with the local towns and cities and in the unincorporated ares of Marin under Cooperation agreement with the County of Marin.
