Affordable housing tour this Saturday

Posted on June 11, 2012 in Events, Live Local News

Drake's Way

Join us this Saturday, June 16, for a tour of affordable homes in Marin County. After enjoying a complimentary breakfast, we will visit beautifully designed, well-managed properties developed by EAH Housing and BRIDGE Housing. On the itinerary for the tour are Drake’s Way in Larkspur, Edgewater Place also in Larkspur, and Alto Station in Mill Valley. Meet the residents and management staff of these exemplary properties and learn how local leaders overcame opposition to these developments.

Building more affordable can alleviate the housing crisis in Marin while enhancing our neighborhoods. This tour is an opportunity to see how these model properties can be replicated in your community. We hope to see you Saturday!

What: Live Local Marin Affordable Housing Tour
When: 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Saturday, June 16
