The Marin County Board of Supervisors is considering a $5.2 million loan to support an 80-unit Habitat for Humanity housing project in north Novato, the County announced on Thursday,
Located at 8161 Redwood Blvd., the development would include 60 homes designated for low-income families, officials said.
