Efforts to address housing affordability in the Tahoe Basin are entering an important new stage, and we want you to be part of what comes next.
This month, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) is kicking off Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) scoping for the Cultivating Community, Conserving the Basin project. This process will take a close look at how proposed housing policy changes can protect the natural environment while continuing to support local residents that are the fabric of our community.
Read on to learn how you can share your input, stay informed, and follow along as this work moves forward. Your voice matters, please stay engaged and help spread the word.

Upcoming Opportunities for Input
TRPA has initiated an environmental impact statement for proposed policies to improve housing affordability, water quality, and environmental conditions in the Tahoe Basin.
A public scoping period is now open for the public to provide input on any impacts that should be considered in the environmental analysis. The public scoping period for the EIS will remain open through March 16, 2026. Please submit written comments to housing@trpa.gov or provide spoken comment at the February 11 Advisory Planning Commission meeting.
