The income requirements will be at the time of renting, but at this time those earning approximately $26,100 - $52,200 annually would qualify. Sugar Pine Village will deliver much-needed affordable, workforce housing to residents earning 30-60 percent of the Area Media Income (AMI), and is the largest multi-family housing project in South Lake Tahoe’s pipeline. The mixed-use, affordable housing development is to be built on two parcels of California Tahoe Conservancy surplus land in the Tahoe Valley area at Lake Tahoe Blvd. “Thank you to HCD for providing vital funding to assist in the delivery of urgently-needed multifamily housing in the South Lake Tahoe community – and to the City of South Lake Tahoe and Saint Joseph Community Land Trust for your partnership.” "We are thrilled that Sugar Pine Village has been awarded with MHP funding by the California Department of Housing and Community Development,” said Ann Silverberg, CEO of Related California’s NorCal Affordable and Northwest Divisions. “With this latest funding announcement, it is likely we will be able to break ground on this innovative project as early as this year," said South Lake Tahoe Mayor Devin Middlebrook. This new grant funding is a critical milestone in the 248-unit multi-phase workforce affordable housing development’s complex financing structure. The City of South Lake Tahoe is in the process of submitting another HOME application for $6,375,000 for Phase 1B from the California Department of ![]() That grant includes $4 million for city improvements. Three of the grant awards are being used for Phase 1A, with the largest, a $17,359,470 grant from the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Program, allocated for Phase 2A. The project has received a total of six funding awards to date, four of which were grants and two being tax credit awards. ![]()
