Learn
One of MEHC’s core goals is to supply education and resources for those curious about all things affordable housing. The purpose of our “Learn” center is to provide easy access to educational recommendations, our monthly “Perspective” newsletters, and one-pagers. If you have a resource you wish to be added to the Learn center, please reach out to info@marinmehc.org.
You can view all of our Perspectives here. They are informational deep dives on a specific topic related to housing.
