Tahoe Truckee Homeless Action Coalition

Working together to prevent and end homelessness in the Truckee-Tahoe region.

About Us

The Tahoe Truckee Homeless Action Coalition (TTHAC) brings together local government, nonprofits, healthcare providers, faith and business organizations, a community foundation, library and community members to expand solutions for our neighbors experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity.

We are committed to moving from planning into action—creating services and housing solutions that meet people where they are, with dignity and support.

TTHAC is a regional coalition formed to create and implement the 2025 Tahoe Truckee Regional Homeless Action Plan. Our work is guided by the belief that homelessness is a community-wide issue that requires a coordinated response.

We focus on:

  • Collaboration – Aligning agencies, service providers, local government and residents for a common purpose.
  • Action – Creating new and expanding existing services and models that fit our community and meet immediate and long-term needs.
  • Equity – Ensuring services are accessible, inclusive, and tailored to diverse needs.
  • Sustainability – Building long-term strategies backed by stable funding and community support.
  • Community – Bringing community and those with lived experience into the discussions and planning process.

Our Priorities

Our work is grounded in the 2025 Tahoe Truckee Regional Homeless Action Plan, which outlines a clear roadmap for addressing homelessness in our region. While the plan covers many areas, TTHAC has identified four immediate priorities that will guide our work in the coming years:

  1. Crisis Stabilization Services – Establishing a pilot Navigation Center with interim beds and day services.
  2. Permanent Housing with Support – Increasing local housing options paired with supportive services.
  3. Community Engagement – Creating opportunities for public input, storytelling, and volunteer involvement.
  4. Funding and Partnerships – Securing public and private resources to sustain services year-round.

These priorities balance urgent needs of housing people this winter with long-term strategies to expand housing and strengthen our community response to homelessness. The Action Plan is both a strategic guide and an aspirational framework built on best practices—one that challenges us to align our ambitions with the realities of available resources and sustainable funding.
