Miles From Home
The Traffic and Climate Impacts of Marin's Unaffordable Housing

Miles from Home, a new report from Live Local Marin, explores the impact that the lack of workforce housing in Marin has had on traffic and our environment. We think you'll agree it provides vital data supporting the need for new affordable housing opportunities in Marin County. It is our hope that the report will inject new context into the discussion about affordable housing, and refocus the debate on how to help people with strong roots in Marin live closer to where they work.

Bay Area Affordable Housing Survey Report

Prepared for the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California
By Hertz Research, Bodega Bay, California
January, 2010

NPH recently commissioned a public opinion poll of over 800 residents in the nine Bay Area counties. The poll assessed how the current economic crisis is affecting our Bay Area neighbors, and their own housing situations, as well as popular support for affordable housing. The results are compelling—both in the depth and breadth of the affordable housing crisis in the Bay Area and the options which the public appears likely to support.
