The Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation (TTCF) hosted their latest Lunch and Learn on affordable housing on Friday, giving Sierra Community House’s housing coordinator a platform to speak about the services they offer and their importance to the North Tahoe and Truckee community.
Denisse Vega Zarate has served as the housing coordinator for Sierra Community House for two years, helping provide much-needed services to people looking for housing in the area, especially those who are under the 80% area median income (AMI).
Recently, California’s Housing and Community Development department (HCD) released their numbers for state income limits determining who qualifies for certain housing programs. For a four-person household, the income limits for Placer County are $120,800 and for Nevada County are $124,600. TTCF program director Kristina Kind said it was the first time she’d seen that Nevada County’s limit was higher than Placer County’s.
