Making Projects Pencil: The Housing Funders Network
TTCF remains committed to close collaboration with the community to shape housing strategies and continuously identify shared priorities. On a monthly basis, we convene the major housing funders in our region who assist in subsidy, tax credits, and grants via the Housing Funders Network to ensure that collectively we support development and housing solutions that meet community needs and contribute positively to the area.
By convening this key group of stakeholders, TTCF fosters collaborative and aligned housing solutions by coordinating philanthropic and public resources and processes, provides a single point of entry for developers, and shares due diligence on projects that have social and economic impact on our community. This ensures that proposed housing projects in North Tahoe – Truckee avoid duplicative conversations and make projects pencil. Our goal is to increase housing in our area by developing new units and unlocking existing ones, ensuring we address housing solutions identified through the Truckee North Tahoe Regional Housing Needs Assessment.
TTCF-Led Research and Support Lays the Groundwork for Local Workforce Housing Solution
TTCF is pleased with the portfolio of solutions that have been catalyzed through our collective impact efforts, through Mountain Housing Council, since 2017. We now celebrate the Tahoe Housing Hub, which our partners ideate through our Regional Housing Implementation Plan, and through substantial collaborative funding for initial operations and to launch an ADU Accelerator Pilot Program. Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs, are attached or detached residential dwelling units which provide independent living facilities without contributing to expensive housing developments and urban sprawl. The Hub guides homeowners through the entire ADU process, including permitting, construction management, and leasing.
The Truckee Tahoe Workforce Housing Agency (TTWHA) is excited about the Tahoe Housing Hub’s ADU Accelerator program launch. This program will provide the community with education, support, and expertise around the entitlement process and steps in building an ADU. ADU’s are an important component to providing the much-needed housing in our community, and we are excited to see the success of this program, and the housing it will bring to our community.
