What exactly is “affordable housing“?
Is it defined the same everywhere, whether you live in the city or a ski mountain town? Are the same resources available to you no matter where you live?
To kick off Affordable Housing Month, Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation hosted a lunch and learn to dig into some of these questions.
While TTCF and our 27+ partners through the Mountain Housing Council determined a new definition to guide our work – achievable housing – affordable still applies here. Achievable encompasses all of the people in our region from unhoused to top-middle-income earners while affordable is specific to those earning 80% or less of the area median income.
