Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Homeward Bound is the main provider of emergency shelter, supportive housing and services for people overcoming a crisis of homelessness in Marin County, California. Our mission of "opening doors to safety, dignity, hope, and independence," is underscored by a vision that "everyone deserves a place to call home." We offer shelter, housing and supportive housing through 19 residential programs, in addition to an award-winning culinary job training program and an array of successful mission-driven businesses.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Homeward Bound of Marin is the main provider of emergency shelter, supportive housing and services for people overcoming a crisis of homelessness in Marin County, California.

  • Adult Program Services - Homeward of Marin provides shelter and housing for adults overcoming homelessness in Marin through residential programs ranging from emergency shelter to permanent supportive housing. In the past year, Homeward Bound of Marin served 736 adults, including 53 veterans, and 63% transitioned to housing opportunities. There remained a strong demand for the innovative program for adults leaving hospital care without stable housing, resulting in 99 people receiving medical respite services, up almost 14% from the prior year. 224 adults received enhanced care plans with support from the State of Californias CalAIM initiative, which coordinates care more closely with medical providers while using blood pressure checks, nutrition check-ins, and other strategies. Homeward Bound continues to support vulnerable adults in shelter and supportive housing who face food insecurity by preparing and distributing over 15,000 meals a month to ensure their nutrition needs are met. In addition, 24 newly completed units of veterans housing and 26 apartments for people working in the community will expand capacity to end veteran homelessness in Marin and assist more adults to end homelessness in their lives.

    Expenses $7,917,255

  • Job Training and Social Enterprise Program - Homeward Bound offers the only free culinary arts training and job creation program in Marin County specifically designed to help homeless and low-income individuals overcome barriers to employment. Since 2001, Homeward Bound has helped over 1,000 people launch their careers through the Fresh Starts Culinary Academy. In addition, innovative social enterprise businesses provide a source of income and ongoing skill-building for Fresh Starts graduates and other low-income job seekers. Last year, 81 people built their career prospects though job training and supportive employment at Homeward Bound. An expanded job-training center will open in 2025 to provide more training and job opportunities for people who are exiting homelessness and poverty and advancing their careers.

    Expenses $3,154,526

  • Family Program Services - Homeward Bound has operated the only shelter in Marin County for homeless families since 1974, along with seven permanent supportive family housing programs. Families continued seeking support last year with a total of 115 parents and 130 children receiving services. Many faced challenges beyond housing needs, including domestic violence, chronic health conditions, and mental health needs. Given the particular struggles of young parents, a new program launched to serve the needs of people aged 18 to 26 who head a household with children. Families engaged in this program are building lasting resilience to break the cycle of homelessness. Overall last year, 81% of families served by Homeward Bound left for housing opportunities

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
