We can do more to offer affordable & workforce housing.

Why Housing for All Matters

"Our housing crisis is an existential threat to our state’s future, and we can’t shy from the hard fights it’ll take to create more affordable homes for Californians – including pursuing legal challenges to make sure the housing laws we pass in Sacramento translate to real, new units in local communities across our state.”

Governor Gavin Newsom on CaRLA vs San Mateo

“Our fight for affordable housing is inextricably tied to our fights for racial, economic, environmental, and social justice. This appellate decision upholding the constitutionality of the Housing Accountability Act is a major victory for all Californians.”

Attorney General Rob Banta on CaRLA vs San Mateo

What is the Residences at Jibboom?

The Residences at Jibboom is a multifamily housing development set in old town Truckee that exceeds the Town of Truckee's goals for workforce housing and sustainability practices.

  • It is a classic infill development of a blighted dirt lot, using land previously occupied by an old motel to offer housing for locals.
  • Four buildings along Jibboom Street will consist of 62 residential units and 3,339 SF of ground floor commercial space.
  • Of the 62 residential units, 10 are 'affordable units' and 20 are offered to the town as workforce housing, meaning 48% of the units are restricted to TTUSD working boundaries.
  • The buildings contain 15 studios, 23 one-bedroom, 13 two-bedroom & 11 three-bedroom units, plus 69 parking spaces (58 spaces onsite and 11 street spaces).
  • All spaces are wired for EV as well as for tandem lifts, which has the potential to double the onsite parking.
  • All buildings stand at or below the allowable development code height, having been redesigned in 2020 with a new architect, MWA. High Street neighbors and other members of the community participated in project redesign.

The conscientious design embraces Truckee patterns of development with a “hodge podge” character, highlights a commissioned mural and borrows from historic buildings like the old railroad hotel.

Help support locals' housing

As you are well aware, California remains in the throes of a statewide crisis-level housing shortage, and the Tahoe area in particular struggles to provide housing options for local low- and middle-income workers. The Residences at Jibboom multifamily housing development targets this very issue by offering affordable living spaces to locals within the boundaries of TTUSD.
