On March 12, our Executive Director Kimberly Carroll and Tenant Commissioners Sarah Canson and Homer Hall took part in NAHRO's annual Capitol Hill Day, held during the 2025 Washington Conference. Hill Day offers NAHRO members from across the country the chance to meet directly with lawmakers and discuss pressing issues related to affordable housing and community development. This year, NAHRO partnered with Advocacy Associates to coordinate meetings with congressional offices on behalf of conference attendees. Our delegation was proud to represent our community and bring the voices of residents directly to Capitol Hill. One highlight of the day was our meeting with U.S. Congressman Jared Huffman, where we shared local stories and advocated for continued federal support of housing programs. The opportunity to engage in face-to-face dialogue with legislators was both meaningful and energizing for our team.

Marin County, CA – Marin County is moving forward with a Digital Marin Connecting Communities Project at five Marin Housing Authority sites.

On January 27th, President Donald Trump’s budget office ordered all federal agencies to temporarily block disbursement of grants and loans — other than for Social Security, Medicare and other programs providing direct aid to individuals. Although information provided by the Office of Management Budget (OMB) states that funding for rental assistance programs would not be included in the temporary freeze, and HUD provided information that seemed to confirm that the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and Project Based Voucher programs will not be included in the temporary freeze, the OMB memo caused a great deal of uncertainty and confusion. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the order until February 3rd. As of Wednesday January 29th, the White House has rescinded the funding freeze. Rental assistance payments for program participants will not be impacted and will take place as regularly scheduled.
