We’ve broken it down by region: Central and West Marin.
Central Marin
Cedars
San Anselmo
When Cedars first opened in 1919, it was one of the first residential schools that worked to provide a community-based home for those with developmental disabilities. Over a hundred years later, Cedars is still thriving and so are those that live in its community.

Halleck Creek Ranch
