Since 1954, Lifehouse has opened the doors of opportunity to developmentally disabled individuals in Marin, Sonoma and San Francisco Counties through life-skills training, community integration, advocacy, referrals and community information. We couldn’t be more proud of the progress of our clients, the satisfaction it has brought them and their families, and the many beneficial effects of their integration into our communities.

With the help of our staff, donors, volunteers and local communities, we strive to improve the quality of life of our clients and their families. Our individualized programs and services are provided in an atmosphere of respect, inspiration and purpose. We currently serve over 180 clients living independently with support in the community or in group homes in Marin, Sonoma and San Francisco Counties.

An Innovative Leader
Formerly known as MARC, Lifehouse is recognized as an innovative and forward thinking leader – continually striving to provide the highest level of services to our clients and developing new programs to meet the needs of the community. Lifehouse provided the early leadership for special education, implemented the first employment training program, started Marin Special Olympics, launched community recreation programs for adults, a seniors program, and most recently, programs that address socialization and recreation for teens and the increased needs of those with autism.
