Community Conversation on Workforce Housing

The Reno High School Auditorium was buzzing on the afternoon of April 13. The Community Foundation co-hosted with Truckee Meadows Healthy Communities an event to share information, suggestions and questions about addressing the need for workforce and affordable housing in a booming Truckee Meadows. 

Chris Askin named The Corporate Philanthropy Partners from the podium and acknowledged them for their support of the Community Foundation Leadership activities including the Conversation on Workforce Housing. 

Now that the housing conversation has been held, the workforce housing initiative will be handled by Truckee Meadows Healthy Communities, led by Sharon Zadra. 

A housing plan, when developed, will be presented to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for funding. The Community Foundation sent the Housing Conversation stakeholder list and the results of the 120 surveys that were completed at the Community Conversation to Truckee Meadows Health Communities to aid in initial fundraising.
