“Affordable housing is an increasingly important subject up and down the valley. The backbone of this community is our working class and for a nonprofit like SVSEF, we depend upon coaches and staff members who work for modest wages because they are passionate about the lifestyle here. Affordable housing isn’t just a workforce issue, it’s also about preserving our mountain culture. Hopefully this collective understanding eases the NIMBY mentality.”
