TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD) Board of Trustees is considering a workforce housing project aimed at easing the housing burden for district employees and other local workers.
At its March 19 meeting, the board reviewed a feasibility study conducted by Education Housing Partners in partnership with the Truckee Tahoe Workforce Housing Agency. The study explored the potential for developing workforce housing on the Alder Creek Middle School property, a site identified for its viability in addressing the region’s affordable housing crisis.
Bruce Dorfman and Joanna Julian of Education Housing Partners presented the study’s findings, which included site analysis, conceptual layouts, construction cost estimates, and financing strategies. The proposal outlined a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom townhomes and apartments, with Site A accommodating up to 72 units and Site B housing between 20 and 26 units. Planned amenities include private garages, storage, a clubhouse, playground, and possibly a childcare facility—designed to cater to the needs of local educators and staff
