Marin Health and Human Services

What Marin Health and Human Services does

Marin Health and Human Services (legal name: County of Marin Department of Health and Human Services; also doing business as Marin County Health and Human Services and Marin HHS) is a public county government department headquartered in San Rafael, California, that delivers an integrated portfolio of health, behavioral health, and social services to the residents of Marin County. Its core offerings include administration of public assistance benefits (Medi-Cal, CalFresh, CalWORKs), behavioral health and substance use treatment, in-home supportive services, housing and homelessness programs, resource family / foster and adoption services, vital records (birth and death certificates), immunization services, and 24/7 crisis support. The department serves a defined population that includes families, children and youth, older adults, people with disabilities, veterans, unhoused residents, non-citizens, community-based organizations, and contractor partners.

The department operates a web-based service delivery platform accessible in seven languages (English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Filipino, Vietnamese), supplemented by telephone support including California Relay services and in-person assistance at county offices. As a public entity, it does not operate on a commercial revenue model; funding flows from federal programs (notably Medi-Cal and Title IV-E), California state programs (including CalAIM, Mental Health Services Act, and realignment funding), and the County of Marin's general fund. In January 2026, the department contracted Health Roads, Inc. and Intrepid Ascent, Inc. to deliver third-party administrative services for Justice-Involved CalAIM billing, introducing an AI-powered revenue cycle management platform to meet California Department of Health Care Services requirements for pre-release and pre-entry Medi-Cal billing.

The organization is governed as a department of the County of Marin — a public, non-corporate government entity with no private shareholders, no venture or private-equity backing, no M&A activity, and no commercial pricing. It employs 501–1,000 staff and holds a legislatively mandated monopoly on the delivery of these public services within Marin County's jurisdictional boundaries. The technology stack is described as a standard county government services platform without disclosed proprietary features; all advanced technology capabilities (AI-powered billing) are sourced from external vendors rather than developed in-house.
