Summary
The Grand Jury investigated the progress Marin’s housing jurisdictions (Marin’s cities, towns, and the County of Marin) are making to ease the housing crunch by supporting the development of new housing as required by the California Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) program. The Grand Jury found that while most Marin jurisdictions are making good faith efforts to execute their housing plans, most, if not all, Marin housing jurisdictions will fail to achieve the state-mandated new housing goals for the current planning cycle.
