Agency Overview The Marin City Community Development Corporation was

organized in 1979 to facilitate community economic development where low income residents can live, work, and prosper.

The Marin City CDC has always viewed its mission as comprehensive – working to improve the social, economic, and physical quality of life for the community and its residents. The physical redevelopment that has occurred in Marin City, the increase in homeownership among residents, the increase in employment, cultural promotion, and on-going community advocacy are directly linked to the efforts of the CDC over its 33 year history.

In the last 6 years the agency’s: Budget has grown from $450,000 to $2,000,000; Staff from 3 to 15 regular employees, and an average of additional

25 employed through social enterprises; Real estate and other assets worth over $5,000,000.

Major accomplishments: MCCDC developed an innovative industry led model that has changed service delivery regionally.

In March 2013, MCCDC became a NISH affiliate, and we are in the process of securing Federal set aside

contracts to employ people with disabilities.

MCCDC has become the largest provider of vocational services to DOR in Marin County in a short period

of time, and has simultaneously expanded our catchment area to cover the entire county.

Overview:

MCCDC became a vendor for the State of California Department of

Rehabilitation (DOR) in March of 2011.

The service was created because Marin City Residents self-report a high

level of disabilities in our own intake demographic data.

In the current program year, MCCDC’s Rehabilitation Services team has

placed 36 individuals in employment, 20 have retained employment.

5 additional are reaching 90 day retention May; 4 eligible in June.

If the 4 eligible reach retention in June, 81% of those placed will be

retained in employment (the national average for the population is 50%).
