Good Morning Truckee: Housing Update

The housing crisis is real. Our most essential workers are struggling to live in the places that they work. Several organizations, agencies, and governments are working on solutions.

Panelists will provide a comprehensive housing update including details on the nearly 250 units coming online soon; innovative partnerships and collaborations; creative initiatives in place such as incentive programs to unlock long-term or seasonal rentals combined with platforms to connect homeowners with vetted, locally employed tenants; Accessory Dwelling (ADU) program; and a new below-market-rate housing program. Speakers will include:

Tara Zuardo, Project Director, Mountain Housing Council

Seana Doherty, Housing Program Manager, Town of Truckee

Emily Vitas, Executive Director, Truckee Tahoe Workforce Housing Agency

Colin Frolich, Chief Executive Officer, Landing Locals

Viewers can participate through Zoom, watch the livestream at Truckee.com/GoodMorningTruckee, Tahoe Truckee Media.org, or on Suddenlink Channel 18. The session will be recorded and available for viewing at a later date.

You can email your Stump Speech to [email protected] by Monday, August 9th at 5:00 pm and it will be read at the end of the program. Or if you are on Zoom, you can make your own announcement. Stump speeches should be able to be read in one minute or less.

Good Morning Truckee is a community forum to provide timely, relevant information on a variety of topics. It is open to the public – everyone is invited free of charge. It is held the second Tuesday of every month virtually from 7:30-8:30 am.

Whether you are new to the community or have lived here for years, hearing from our leaders in the community is an enjoyable way to stay on top of important issues, connect and engage. One of the great things about living in a small community like Truckee is that you can personally know your leaders and work with them to make a difference.

Good Morning Truckee is presented by the Truckee Chamber of Commerce in partnership with sponsors Tahoe Forest Health System; Law Offices of Porter Simon; Dickson Realty Truckee Tahoe; Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation; N|V|5; Auerbach Engineering; JK Architecture Engineering; Tahoe Truckee Media, 101.5FM Truckee Tahoe Radio; Sierra Sun; Moonshine Ink; Town of Truckee and Truckee Tahoe Airport District
