Program areas at Tahoe Prosperity Center
Alert Tahoe - ALERTWildfire is a network of nearly 1,000 specialized camera installations used by first responders and volunteers to detect wildfires before they become too big. The cameras also support critical evacuation and firefighting efforts by relaying real-time information when its needed most. ALERTWildfire is a collaboration between major universities, first responders (CAL Fire, Emergency Services), federal agencies (US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management), and more, who actively use the strategically placed cameras 24/7 to protect people, homes, and the environment.
Housing Tahoe - The Tahoe Prosperity Center initiated the Housing Tahoe Partnership in April 2018 in order to promote the proposition that if you work in Tahoe, you should be able to live in Tahoe. Local jurisdictions, businesses, foundations, and over 100 residents from the South Shore helped the Organization identify strategies to add more local housing options as part of this effort. Based upon that partnerships successful efforts, the Organization coordinated the Washoe Tahoe Housing Partnership that resulted in the Washoe Tahoe Housing Needs Assessment for the Incline Village and the Crystal Bay areas of Lake Tahoe.
Envision Tahoe - In 2021, the Tahoe Prosperity Center was selected by the U.S. Economic Development Administration to facilitate a Regional Economic Recovery and Resiliency Strategy for the people of the Tahoe-Truckee Region based upon its ongoing work with partners in housing, broadband, and workforce development. The Organization launched Envision Tahoe: Prosperity Plan 2.0. This work began with an initial report to analyze baseline conditions, followed by a second report that collected and synthesized input from stakeholders throughout the Tahoe community. In June 2022, the Organization released its Envision Tahoe Prosperity Playbook, a shared action plan for economic resilience, investment and community inclusion.
Connected Tahoe - Connected Tahoe is bringing gigabit-level service to the entire Basin by collaborating with local providers, jurisdictions, the California Public Utilities Commission the CPUC), and communities to find the most economically, environmentally, and fiscally solvent broadband solutions for the Tahoe Region. The Organization is working to facilitate broadband infrastructure projects in problem areas throughout the Basin. This is being done by working with the CPUC to identify Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that are ready, able, and willing to provide the infrastructure through a push for a Basin-wide dig once policy and by ensuring that broadband infrastructure is included in any and all planning efforts in Lake Tahoe.
