📰 News we're reading

1. Building Trust: A Faster Way to Preserve and Create Housing in Tahoe-Truckee (sierrasun.com) — Truckee residents are being asked to help tackle the region’s housing crisis by donating homes, land, or funds to the new Housing Trust Tahoe, backed by $500,000 from Placer County. The nonprofit aims to quickly preserve existing homes and create workforce housing in the North Lake Tahoe–Truckee area, building on earlier efforts like ADU incentives that haven’t fully met local needs.
   

2. Vaccine guidance for community from Tahoe Forest Health System (sierrasun.com) — Truckee and North Tahoe residents are being urged by Tahoe Forest Health System to stay current on vaccines, with local clinics in Truckee offering personalized catch-up plans for kids and adults. The guidance explains vaccine safety, pregnancy recommendations, and which shots are advised at different ages, and points you to nearby pharmacies and TFHS clinics for convenient appointments.
   

3. Placer County moves toward transit fleet electrification as board approves purchase of new buses (busride.com) — Truckee and North Tahoe transit riders can expect cleaner, more reliable service as Placer County buys 16 new buses, including four electric vehicles for the Truckee-Tahoe region. The fully grant-funded purchase upgrades aging PCT and TART buses, supports a local electric-bus pilot in Truckee, and boosts transit budgets without tapping the county’s general fund.
   

4. For the love of Tahoe: why long-time residents stick around (tahoedailytribune.com) — Longtime South Lake Tahoe residents share why they’ve stayed, from deep community ties to the region’s outdoor beauty, with one man describing receiving throat cancer treatment in Truckee and strong local support. Their stories touch on building local institutions, LGBTQ+ community spaces, and childhood memories in the Upper Truckee Meadow, offering Truckee-area readers a window into how neighbors across the lake stay rooted here.
