IVCBA Housing Committee Update

July 16, 2026 | Member Submitted

Summer 2026

The IVCBA Housing Committee continues to bring together local organizations, housing professionals, employers, and community members to support practical workforce housing solutions for Incline Village and Crystal Bay. Here are some of the latest updates.

Employer Workforce Housing Forum Brings Local Resources Together

On July 22, the Incline Village REALTORS® will host the Employer Workforce Housing “Live Where You Work” Forum & Breakfast at The Chateau.

The event connects employers with local, state, and federal housing resources designed to help employees find attainable housing while strengthening Tahoe’s workforce. The morning also provided an opportunity for employers to network and discuss collaborative housing solutions for the region.

Accessory Dwelling Units in Washoe County

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) continue to be one of the most practical ways to increase housing opportunities while preserving neighborhood character.

The Housing Committee recently shared an educational presentation outlining Washoe County’s ADU regulations, permitting process, and opportunities for homeowners interested in creating additional housing. It was originally presented to the Citizen Advisory Board by Washoe County.

ADU PRESENTATION to CAB >

New Tahoe Affordable Homeownership Program Launches

The St. Joseph Community Land Trust has introduced the TAHOE – Tahoe Affordable Home Ownership Enabling Program.

The program is designed to preserve existing affordable housing by:

  • Helping income-qualified first-time homebuyers purchase existing homes.
  • Purchasing existing homes and reselling them to qualified local buyers.
  • Assisting financially challenged homeowners in avoiding foreclosure and preserving homeownership.

Old Incline Elementary School Site Under Review

The future of the former Incline Elementary School property continues to evolve.

The Tahoe Transportation District (TTD) is evaluating alternative uses for the parcel, originally acquired for a mobility hub. The Reno Housing Authority (RHA) is preparing a proposal for the Federal Transit Administration, while additional community concepts continue to emerge.

At the upcoming August TTD meeting, RHA will provide the board with an overview of their proposed project, including various housing type options that could be included in the development.  Additionally, the Incline Sports Area has been invited to provide a presentation to the Board on other potential development projects for the property.  The Housing Committee will continue monitoring developments and share updates as they become available.

 The next is August 5th.

TRPA is currently preparing an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Cultivating Community, Conserving the Basin policy recommendations, focused on improving housing opportunities for local families, workers, and seniors while maintaining and improving environmental protections. The EIS will analyze the environmental impact of three policy alternatives. Find information on the project and a calendar of upcoming events at: www.tahoeliving.org.

The Local Lens – Bringing World-Class Music to Incline Village

July 15, 2026 | Member Submitted

Written by Joanne Taylor, Development Director at Classical Tahoe

Joanne Taylor is the Development Director at Classical Tahoe. A native Nevadan and graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno, she has spent a lifetime enjoying the beauty of Lake Tahoe—from summers on its beaches to winters in the surrounding mountains. She is proud to help bring world-class music and arts to the community she has long called home.

Each summer, Classical Tahoe presents a four-week, world-class jazz and classical music festival in an intimate outdoor pavilion nestled in the majestic pines of Incline Village, at the University of Nevada, Reno’s Lake Tahoe campus. Featured are top jazz players and principal musicians from major orchestras throughout North America, including the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Seattle Symphony, L.A. Phil, and Toronto Symphony Orchestra, just to name a few. 

Bringing together the more than 100 musicians who join us over the next four weeks on stage, in classrooms, and in the community is no easy feat. We begin planning each season immediately after the current one concludes. 

Strategic planning and budgeting come first, led by Classical Tahoe’s Executive Director, David Pratt, with input and participation from staff and the board. (Note that when I mention staff, I’m referring only to three full-time employees, myself included, and a handful of contractors.) Simultaneously, Artistic Director Laura Hamilton begins to put together the classical programs and hire musicians, guest artists, and conductors. David works closely with Laura to accomplish this, among many other things, including coordination with the Brubeck Jazz Summit. Festival Administrator Anna King Box begins to set up ticketing and seating for subscribers. During this time, I am focused on securing corporate and individual sponsorships, grants, and major gifts. I also work to get housing hosts for musicians (we’re always looking for new housing hosts, so contact me if you are interested!) And, all of us, along with a committee, start planning our annual gala. We’re exhausted by December! 

Now celebrating its 15th season, Classical Tahoe presents more performances, reaches more students, and engages more community members than ever before. We’ve accomplished this through important partnerships with the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe, corporate sponsors and foundations (too many to name!), and other arts organizations such as the Brubeck Living Legacy and Lake Tahoe Dance Collective. And, of course, there are the hundreds of individuals who believe in our mission and support our organization through contributions and volunteerism. Add to that the commitment and generosity of our 18 board members, and you have the formula for our success. 

The 2026 Classical Tahoe festival dates are July 11-Aug. 9. Click here for a complete Classical Tahoe 2026 Festival program guide. Many of the performances are sold out but there are still tickets available for the concerts below. And don’t forget—orchestra rehearsals are free and open to the public Tuesday through Saturday beginning at 10:30 a.m., offering a rare opportunity to watch world-class musicians at work.

Saturday, August 1 – Passion and Spirit 

Daniel Stewart, conductor

7 PM | Classical Tahoe Ricardi Pavilion

Whether you’re attending your first concert or returning for another unforgettable season, we invite you to experience the artistry, inspiration, and sense of community that make Classical Tahoe so special. We look forward to seeing you.

In The News – Tahoe from the cosmos: Former astronaut Jerry Linenger talks Lake Tahoe, PBS’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Space’

July 14, 2026 | Member Submitted

Originally published in the Tahoe Daily Tribune, 07/14/2026, Written by Victoria Mastrocola

As Jerry Linenger looked out from his porthole window on the space station Mir, his eyes were searching for that familiar, turquoise landmark tucked inside the snow-clad peaks of the Sierra Nevadas below.

“[Lake Tahoe] is a very special place on the planet,” Linenger, retired U.S. Navy flight surgeon and former astronaut, told the Tribune. “I think people that live up here realize that. It’s hard to miss it.” 

Linenger, now an Incline Village resident, first became acquainted with the Lake Tahoe region during a formative summer between his junior and senior years through a National Science Foundation scholarship where he studied Environmental Science at the Foresta Institute.

Unlocking Workforce Housing Initiative Hosts Employer Forum & Breakfast to Support Local Workforce Homeownership

July 14, 2026 | Member Submitted

North Lake Tahoe employers invited to July 22 event focused on housing resources, employee retention, and local workforce stability

The Unlocking Workforce Housing initiative, led by local real estate, lending, escrow, title, and credit counseling professionals, will host the Employer Workforce Housing “Live Where You Work” Forum & Breakfast on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at The Chateau in Incline Village. This event is sponsored by the Incline Village Realtors Association and IVCBA.

The event is designed to help North Lake Tahoe employers connect their employees with trusted housing education, homeownership resources, financing options, below-market-rate housing opportunities, and local assistance programs.

Breakfast and networking will begin at 8:30 a.m., sponsored by Columbia Bank. A presentation from 9:00 to 10:15 a.m. will highlight local, state, and federal employer resources that can help Lake Tahoe employees find realistic housing solutions. The event will conclude with an employer networking session from 10:30 to 11:00 a.m. focused on stabilizing the Tahoe workforce through shared ideas, needs, and solutions.

“Most people do not realize there are approximately 100 below-market-rate condos in Incline Village for low- and moderate-income households, or that loan and grant resources are available for essential workers,” said Laura Levine Kalisch, Chair of the Workforce and Fair Housing Committee and Senior Loan Advisor at Columbia Bank. “Our goal is to bring accurate information directly to employees where they work and help employers support the people who keep our community running.”

The initiative is supported in part by grant funding from the National Association of REALTORS®, spearheaded by Dr. Laura Vitencz, CEO of Incline Village REALTORS®. The grant supports outreach, collateral creation, web resources, and Spanish-language translation where needed.

“This program is about connecting the workforce with real resources and trusted local guidance,” said Dr. Laura Vitencz. “By partnering with employers, we can make housing education more accessible and help employees better understand the pathways that may be available to them.”

The July 22 event will also feature the initiative’s newest workforce homeowner family, highlighting how education, local resources, and one-on-one support can help make homeownership possible.

The Workforce Homeownership/Housing Resource Program is available at no cost to participating employers and can be tailored for onsite workshops, staff meetings, morning crews, administrative teams, or other employee groups. Workshops may include homebuyer education, financing options, down payment assistance, below-market-rate housing opportunities, budgeting, and individual confidential follow-up support.

PINE NUTS – Barefoot & Broke in Paris

July 11, 2026 | McAvoy Lane

I met Eglantine in 1964 aboard an ocean liner on my way to the Old World, we were both 21. Coincidentally we were also reading books of philosophy by Sarte, hers in French, mine in English, and her manner was so enchanting, well, I fell in love with her…

At one point she suggested, “I know you are heading to South Hampton, but disembark in Cherbourg with me…we can walk through Paris barefoot.”

I had some money waiting for me at American Express in South Hampton, but what was a twenty-one-year-old boy going to say to an invitation like that?

So we disembarked in Cherbourg and hopped a train for Paris, reading aloud as we went, and the more she read, the harder I fell… 

At last we arrived in Paris and off came our shoes. This was heaven on the half shell. About then, as I was intending to kiss her for her mother, her mother appeared, and gave me a straight-arm-shiver with one hand, while dragging Eglantine off with the other, and shoving her into a cab. My last glimpse of Eglantine was out the back window of a taxicab, and there I was, barefoot and broke in Paris. 

I hardly ever cry, but I think I did, as I did not know a soul, and did not speak the language. I did learn to hitchhike fairly well, and I must have given Eglantine my mother’s address, because when I arrived back home to America my mother handed me a letter from Eglantine. She had an artisan’s hand, and I tucked it away for safe keeping. But with life in a college fraternity, and then the Marine Corps, and domiciles in Cape Cod, Carmel, Kauai and finally Tahoe, Eglantine’s letter went missing, until last month, when it surfaced just as my son came to visit with his charming French partner, Oriane. Of course I retrieved Eglantine’s letter and handed it to Oriane…

“Will you be so kind as to read this letter to me sixty-two years later?”

Oriane read to me in her lilting French accent while I pictured Eglantine in my mind’s eye. The last line went something like this, “Please, Macky Boy, come visit me before you are too old.”

I looked to my son and asked, “Do you think I’m too old?”

“No, Dad, I think you have a chance.”

So I’m saving all small change, and placing careful bets on a few fast ponies with a trip to visit Eglantine on my mind. Her return address is on the envelope, and her mother must have been promoted to glory by now, so Eglantine and I could finish our books by Sarte, and have time, brief as it may be, to get to know each other. So it is, that I’m looking forward to being in the arms of Eglantine, a happier place than where she left me, barefoot and broke in Paris…

Nationally recognized constitutional scholars join Nevada teachers at University of Nevada, Reno’s Lake Tahoe

July 10, 2026 | Member Submitted

Summer Institute and Public Speaker Series: Free public talks featuring Vikram David Amar and Burt Neuborne highlight two-week constitutional law institute for Nevada educators

Teachers from across Nevada will gather from July 13-22 at the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe campus for the Center for Constitutional Law’s 2026 Summer Teacher Institute, an immersive professional development program featuring nationally recognized constitutional scholars and designed to strengthen civic education across the state.

Participants will work directly with nationally recognized scholars, examine landmark constitutional questions and develop classroom strategies they can bring back to students across the state. The goal is when participants return to their schools, the Institute’s impact will extend far beyond the Lake Tahoe campus, reaching thousands of Nevada students each year through enhanced constitutional and civic education.

As part of the Institute, the Center will host two free public talks through its Constitutional Scholars Speaker Series, inviting Lake Tahoe residents, visitors, students, legal professionals and community members to unique opportunity to engage with nationally recognized experts on some of the most important constitutional questions facing American democracy today.

The Speaker Series begins on Monday, July 13, with Vikram David Amar, Daniel J. Dykstra Endowed Chair and Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of California, Davis School of Law. Amar’s talk, “How Should Power Be Divided Between the States and the Federal Government in a Changing America?” will examine the evolving relationship between state and federal authority and explore how courts, states, and federal institutions navigate questions of governance, constitutional limits and the balance of power in today’s political climate.

The Series continues on Tuesday, July 21, with Burt Neuborne, Norman Dorsen Professor of Civil Liberties at New York University School of Law and Founding Legal Director of the Brennan Center for Justice. Neuborne’s talk, “How Do the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment Continue to Shape American Democracy?” will explore how the Constitution’s guarantees of free expression, due process and equal protection continue to shape American democracy.

He will examine the enduring relationship between the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment while discussing how the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the First Amendment has influenced contemporary debates over democratic self- government.

Both talks will be facilitated by Rick Trachok, Executive Director of the University of Nevada, Reno Center for Constitutional Law, Senior Counsel at McDonald Carano, and Lecturer at UC Berkeley School of Law and Stanford Law School.

“One of the Center’s most important priorities is strengthening constitutional literacy by investing in Nevada’s teachers while creating opportunities for the broader community to engage with nationally recognized scholars,” said Trachok. “The Summer Teacher Institute and Constitutional Scholars Speaker Series bring together educators, students, legal professionals and community members for meaningful conversations about the constitutional principles that continue to shape American democracy.”

Located in the heart of Incline Village, the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe campus serves as a hub for community engagement, lifelong learning and public dialogue. While the Summer Teacher Institute is designed for educators, the Constitutional Scholars Speaker Series is free and open to the public, offering a rare opportunity to hear directly from nationally recognized constitutional scholars in an intimate setting overlooking Lake Tahoe.
