YIMBY of Northern Nevada: Difference between revisions

YIMBY of Northern Nevada is a project of ''Regenesis[http://www.RegenesisReno.com inRegenesis Reno]''. Our mission is to co-create a regenerative culture in the five-county region of Greater Reno. The five counties include Washoe, Carson, Douglas, Lyon and Storey. Our company is seeking funding from individuals and from local organizations looking for a way to help current and prospective employeesresidents find quality housing. <br />

YIMBY is an acronym for Yes Inin My Back Yard, coined in contrast to NIMBY (Not Inin My Back Yard). Those of us in the rapidly growing YIMBY movement across the country include people who welcome more neighbors into our communities and strongly believe our neighborhoods should be for everyone. <br />

YIMBY members can join a waiting list for attainable quality housing we will maintain and grow to include thousands of our neighbors. To sign up now [http://www.regenesisreno.com/sign-up-for-news/ click HERE].<br />

* For the 7674% of households in Greater Reno with less than $100,000 income, the goal is to bring combined housing and transportation to 45% of income for the majority. <br />

* As solutions to our housing crisis roll out, the 2426% of households in Greater Reno with more than $100,000 income will have an opportunity to drive their combined housing and transportation costs well below 45%. This will be especially true for the 6% of our neighbors living in households with more than $200,000 income. <br />

* For 2018, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has set 100 percent% of Average Median Income (AMI) in Washoe County for a four-person household at $73,500. <br />

* We also use HUD's definition of affordable housing as attainable for households below 80% of AMI ($8858,200800). <br />

* It is important to understand public subsidies such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) are only available to households with less than 60% of AMI ($44,100). <br />

* Public Housinghousing is only available for households below 50% of AMI ($36,750 for a 4-person household and $25,750 for a 1-person household). A full-time single earner living alone needs to make less than $12.38 per hour to qualify. Even below these levels, the waiting list extremely long. <br />

* HUD’s Extremely Low-Income Limit for Washoe County is 34% of AMI ($25,100 for a 4-person household and $15,450 for a 1-person household). A single earner living alone needs to work less than 36 hours per week at the $8.25 minimum wage without benefits to qualify.<br />

* '''There is a shortage of financially attainable quality housing for 7674% of our neighbors -- from the homeless up to households making $100,000 per year.''' <br />

* Although all of our neighbors can contribute to creating a regenerative culture in Greater Reno by re-balancing their time and financial resources, the better off among us have a special capability to drive the Regenesis transformation.

<big>'''Identifying and Recruiting Developers for 1,000 Units of Housing'''</big><br /><small>

* We are working with the Truckee Meadows Regional Planning Agency (TMRPA) and real estate experts to determine the best parcels for building the first 1,000 housing units within TMRPA’s Scenario 4: Infill. Their four scenarios illustrate where 43,000 additional housing units could be built over the next twenty years to accommodate a growth in population of 100,000.<br />

* The housing shortage is not an unintended policy failure. Greater Reno has a housing shortage because of decades of voting and organizing against housing. The solution is to organize ''for'' housing. <br />
