The Action Coalition for Equity (ACE) is a group comprised of leaders within Marin County who have congregated for the past 2 years 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 by E-Mail or (415) 491-4366 x 302.
Public Meetings
A Subcommittee of the Community Development Block Grant Countywide Priority Setting Committee has been established to hear additional public comments recommendations to CDBG and HOME funding allocations. E-Mail County Staff for more information.
