Event Description:
Rescheduled from January!

The housing challenge is one of the most complex and vexing challenges this community has ever faced. As a neutral convener, the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation (TTCF) brought together several resources, community and media partners to start a conversation around regional housing, moving local leaders to fund a regional study.

The study brought together data from Truckee, Placer County, and Nevada County to paint a broad picture of the issues. And while the conversations, policies, and solutions are still ahead of us, TTCF has committed not only funding, but continued leadership to ensure that the conversation continues and solutions are found. Stacy Caldwell, CEO of the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation will share highlights of the regional housing study and its value to tackling this challenge.

In a related topic, the short-term rental and house-sharing has grown rapidly in recent years. This has created challenges such as ensuring these rentals are paying their Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), in addition to creating nuisances in neighborhoods and taking much-needed housing off the market. Addressing these challenges will be Ulrik Binzer, CEO and Founder of Host Compliance, the leading provider of short-term rental compliance monitoring and enforcement solutions to local governments. He will talk about Host Compliance, what they do, what they have discovered in Truckee and compare it to other communities they are working with. The Town of Truckee contracted with Host Compliance in July.

Hirsh Jain, Senior Manager, Global Public Policy for Airbnb will also be speaking. Jain helps craft legislative and regulatory approaches to home sharing in cities around the world. He will provide an overview of what Airbnb does, the growth in the company and industry, Airbnb’s role in the growing shared economy, an overview of their corporate philosophy, some things they are doing in communities that are concerned about the impact short term rentals are having on housing availability, and where the industry and Airbnb are headed.
