Our Values
CLAM's core values are the ideals and principles that are the heartbeat of our organization and guides our decision making and action.
Belonging: We believe that housing is a human right, and that a mix of ages, races, ethnicities, and incomes contributes to our economic and social vibrancy.
Stability: A mix of rental and home ownership options provides an essential foundation for families and communities to thrive.
Community Stewardship: We create and steward permanently affordable housing and are governed by our members, who include the residents of our homes and the broader community.
Integrity: We create an environment of trust, compassion, and fiscal responsibility.
Collaboration: We cultivate and embrace partnerships with all who work for the benefit of West Marin.
