The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) recognizes that affordable housing is vital for the health of our environment and communities.
Many who live and work in the Lake Tahoe Basin are affected by the housing crisis, particularly workers who must commute in from neighboring areas and those who experience sub-standard housing conditions.
To address this, TRPA has embarked on a multiyear project to update the Lake Tahoe Regional Plan, making housing more accessible while maintaining and improving environmental protections. The Cultivating Community, Conserving the Basin project promotes equity and climate resilience through improved growth management and meaningful community engagement. Together, we can ensure that everyone in Lake Tahoe has access to affordable, sustainable housing in thriving communities and a healthy environment.
By engaging in regionwide conversations around
Regional Plan policies, you can bring forward important changes in the Tahoe Basin to support your family, your community, and our region’s future. Throughout 2024 and 2025, there will be opportunities to weigh in on updates to the growth management system.
We hope to see you soon at a neighborhood meeting, community event, TRPA meeting, or to hear from you through other opportunities.
