Please Help Support Housing for Locals in Downtown Truckee

The Issue

Support the Residences at Jibboom for Affordable & Workforce Housing

As you are well aware, California remains in the throes of a statewide crisis-level housing shortage, and the Tahoe area in particular struggles to provide housing options for local low- and middle-income workers. The Residences at Jibboom multifamily housing development targets this very issue by offering affordable living spaces to locals within the boundaries of TTUSD.

New housing such as this is a public benefit; by providing affordable multifamily housing, it will offer badly-needed homes to the local workforce that is being priced out by wealthy homebuyers and renters seeking homes in the mountains. Additionally, it will enhance Truckee's tax base and contribute to a more vibrant community.

Residences at Jibboom consists of 62 units above commercial space.  Ten (10) of the units will be low income affordable at 80% of AMI and another twenty (20) units will be offered voluntarily by the developer as workforce rentals with limits on rental rates.  All 30 of these units will be leased to those that work within the TTUSD boundaries.  A minimum of 48% of the units will be occupied by locals at reduced rental rates!

Please join me in supporting this vital project that aims to ensure our town remains inclusive and accessible for all its residents. Sign this petition today!
