A call for decent homes at reasonable costs for all in Placer County

Powering Growth and Opportunity

Who Needs Housing Most?

They are veterans and schoolteachers, farmers and carpenters, plumbers and bank tellers and artists. They are our neighbors and friends, our grandparents and grandchildren. They are us. And many of them can’t afford to live here, where they work every day, where they grew up.

Retain Local Workforce

“Affordable housing is a big issue when it comes to attracting top-notch employees and we strongly support local development that keeps all income levels in mind. Our 2400+ workforce spans the economic arc, from introductory jobs to executive management.” – Dawn Clayton, General Manager of Thunder Valley Casino Resort

CREATE DECENT HOMES AT REASONABLE COSTS FOR ALL IN PLACER COUNTY

Nearly 42% of Placer County households are strapped by housing costs. Whether renting or buying, families are getting priced out of our communities. It’s our firefighters, schoolteachers, bank tellers and trade workers. They are us, our neighbors and vital to the stability of our workforce and economy.

We are facing a serious gap in housing. According to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), Placer County needs 21,000+ new units of attainable housing by 2021. But as of the most recent County Housing Needs Assessment Progress Report, less than 4% of these units have been built.

Our economy depends on a strong, local workforce. When we support accessible housing, we’re helping to secure the economy by:

Retaining and attracting skilled, local workers
Increasing buying power of local residents
Improving the health of our community
Creating a family friendly environment
