Silver Creek is a multifamily development that has been proposed in the Winter Creek subdivision. It would include forty rental units ranging from studios to two-bedroom units, with four deed restricted to lower income residents.

On Monday April 8, 2024, we will be holding a virtual neighborhood meeting to discuss the application, hear community concerns and answer questions. The applicants will be available, and staff will provide a presentation that explains the review and approval process, where the process is for this project and what the next steps are, as well as information about California housing laws and state density bonus and how these relate to this proposed development.

This meeting was initiated to provide an opportunity for Winter Creek residents to discuss their concerns and receive information about the project, but it is open to all community members who may have an interest in this topic.

When: Monday April 8, 2024 @ 5 pm
Where: Virtually via Zoom

The Terner Center for Housing Innovation, in collaboration with Abt Associates and UCSF's Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative (BHHI), has launched a research series focused on homelessness in California. It aims to better understand efforts underway and to inform ongoing implementation.

Our partners are staying informed and engaged as we work towards solutions together.

Addressing Homelessness in California: Research Series - Terner Center As California’s homelessness crisis grows, the Terner Center, Abt Associates, and UCSF’s BHHI collaborated on a statewide assessment.

Are you a Truckee property owner who started the ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) process but hit pause along the way? We want to hear from you!

The Truckee Housing Research Study aims to understand the reasons behind pauses in the ADU process, and is reaching out to individuals who have firsthand experience. Whether it's zoning issues, financial concerns, or anything else, your insights can help shape future policies and support for ADU development.

If you fit the criteria and are willing to share your experiences, we invite you to participate in the study. You can schedule an interview time and find more details at https://www.housingresearch.us

Your input is invaluable in advancing our region's understanding of ADUs and improving the process for property owners like yourself.

Please feel free to share this post with anyone who might be interested. Thank you for considering being a part of our research!
