The Immediate Past and Future of Housing Solutions
We have been reflecting on the last 6+ years of the Mountain Housing Council, a program of TTCF, and how we will continue to drive housing solutions moving forward. Before we started this journey, our 29+ partners rarely sat down in a single room to tackle regional issues. But through quarterly meetings and a shared commitment to this place and our people, we have coordinated our efforts, reached alignment, and leveraged our resources. The results are new programs, streamlined processes, impact investments, and more. Our partners have identified where they fit into the matrix of solutions, and we are grateful to have been part of driving that action forward.
One new program is the Tahoe Housing Hub which launches this month to address the critical shortage of workforce housing. TTCF has helped guide the formation of the Hub and provided significant funding for the first year of operations. As we look forward, we intend to continue engaging the media and community around vital housing conversations and decisions that shape our region’s future.
Built for Zero: minimizing homelessness
What if more of our neighbors had a roof over their heads? What if families were immediately connected with our local safety net? That is the goal of the Tahoe Truckee Homeless Advisory Committee (TTHAC). TTCF has provided crucial resources to help guide TTHAC’s collaborative action plan as it embraces the Built for Zero Framework. This framework focuses on short-term objectives, such as providing a safe emergency shelter, and long-term strategies that rely on data-informed efforts and leveraging community resources.
To learn from our neighbors, TTHAC recently visited South Lake Tahoe’s Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless. Since 2020, the coalition has offered a variety of supportive services to those facing or at risk of homelessness in South Lake Tahoe and El Dorado County.
I would rather deal with the cold weather and snow than leave my community. This is my home. I feel safe here. To leave would break my heart.
