The Tahoe Housing Hub is guided by core beliefs that reflect our commitment to addressing housing challenges in ways that are inclusive, sustainable, and community focused. These beliefs form the foundation of our vision for thriving, resilient communities and inform our mission to advocate for lasting housing solutions.
WE BELIEVE IN HOUSING FOR ALL: Everyone deserves access to dignified, stable, and affordable housing within their chosen community that fosters well-being, financial stability, and improved quality of life, while creating the same opportunities for future generations.
We Believe in Lasting Housing Solutions: This requires the preservation of affordability and community housing assets through diverse strategies, incentives and secure agreements.
We Believe Inclusive Engagement Leads to Improved Housing Outcomes: Diverse, inclusive engagement ensures all voices are heard, leading to more equitable and effective housing policies that reflect the needs of the entire community.
We Believe Data, Transparency, and Education Drive Housing Progress: Integrating diverse data sources with transparency and education empowers communities to make informed decisions, fosters meaningful dialogue and addresses complex housing challenges.
We Believe in Embracing Change While Honoring Community Character: Thriving communities honor their mountain culture and history, reflecting the unique character of local neighborhoods while embracing change through balanced and collaborative planning, flexibility and innovation that fosters resilience and opportunity.
We Believe Housing is Environmental Stewardship: Housing near workplaces reduces environmental impacts by limiting greenhouse gas emissions and traffic while balancing development with sustainability goals.
We Believe in Housing for Community Safety: Local housing for essential workers and service providers enhances emergency response, public health, resilience, and the stability of critical services during crises.
These core beliefs not only define who we are but also guide every aspect of our work. They form the foundation of our policy platform and shape the priorities that drive our initiatives and projects.
