North Shore Housing Workshop

Description

Tahoe Community Foundation building (formerly Parasol)

A second round of hands-on workshops are scheduled July 22 in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. and July 23 in Incline Village, Nev. to help shape the future of housing in the Lake Tahoe Region, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) said today. Participants will provide the groundwork for the Tahoe Living: Cultivating Community, Conserving the Basin project, which is a regional effort to adapt regional policies and rules to better support workforce housing and maintain environmental protections.

The purpose of the two workshops is to transfer ideas the agency has gathered from community members, partners, and housing experts into potential policy changes, according to TRPA.

Bijou Community School
South Lake Tahoe, Calif. 

North Shore WorkshopWednesday, July 23 from 5-8 pm

Both workshops will include catered food, Spanish interpretation, and activities for children.

Cultivating Community, Conserving the Basin is a multi-year project to help address the crisis of affordability happening in the Tahoe Region and in mountain communities across the nation. As part of the project, TRPA has created a Community Academy, awarded scholarships and grants, published a series of webinars, and convened the Tahoe Living Working Group to modernize land use policies and establish long-term, two-way engagement between communities and agencies, with a particular focus on underrepresented groups.
