Homeward Bound of Marin is expanding its Mill Street Center. Construction has reached the third floor of this rebuilt emergency shelter for homeless adults. The building in San Rafael will add two floors with 32 units of permanent supportive housing for people who have had prolonged episodes of homelessness. More than $18 million has been raised toward the $19 million cost and opening is scheduled for early fall 2022. Gifts to close the funding campaign are welcomed at hbofm.org/donate.
