Crosslake EDA flags seasonal, starter and senior housing as priorities
Summary
EDA members highlighted recurring housing shortages for seasonal employees, low-income starter homes and seniors, and discussed commissioning a study or forming a cross-sector committee to clarify needs and options the city can support.
During its March meeting the Crosslake EDA identified housing as a recurring issue for the community and discussed potential next steps to address specific local needs.
Members listed three priority housing categories: seasonal employee housing, low-income starter homes and senior housing. The group noted housing consistently appears in the Comprehensive Plan update and recommended deeper analysis using data sources such as PlacerAI. EDA members suggested forming a committee with representatives from the school district and lake associations to coordinate stakeholders and ensure a unified approach.
No specific funding or timeline was approved; members discussed whether the city has authority or resources to act directly and whether a study is needed to define scope and costs. The meeting record indicated this topic should be addressed in a special session or at the June meeting to determine next steps and any city-level interventions.
