ABOUT
NevCo West CLT
OUR STORY
In Service of Western Nevada County
NevCo West Community Land Trust was founded by Tracy Huston and Jonathan Collier in 2024 to address the need for housing for the “missing middle” low to moderate income people in Western Nevada County.
While our county has made great strides in providing emergency shelter and transitional housing for very low income households, as well as permanent supportive housing for the people who need ongoing support, there remains a gap: housing affordable to young people and families just starting out, for our teachers and farmers and fire fighters, for our elders on fixed incomes, and the minimum wage earners who keep our restaurants and coffee shops and grocery stores running.
For our neighbors who earn too much to qualify for subsidized housing and yet not enough to afford the high market rates, NevCo West CLT provides a solution.
Buidling Affordably
Through smart design and project management, NevCo West CLT homes can be rented or sold below market rates, at prices low to moderate income people can afford.
Preserving Affordability
The CLT preserves affordability for the lifetime of properties by restricting rent or sale prices to no more than 30% of what middle to low income households earn.
Assuring Stability
Flexible ownership models provide pathways to home ownership.
With years of experience in resilient community development, design, and building, Tracy and Jonathan serve on the interim Board and as co-executive directors of the NevCo West CLT.
