We’re building attainable housing from the ground up—for renters, buyers, and the future of our communities.
The Council was established in 2024 by The Almanor Foundation to support housing efforts across Plumas County. This collaborative coalition brings together nonprofits, employers, builders, and government agencies to align and advance housing solutions for residents countywide. By bridging sectors, the Council works to ensure that safe, attainable housing is accessible for all who live and work in communities throughout Plumas County.
The Plumas Housing Council supports countywide housing efforts by aligning and coordinating programs, projects, and leaders while promoting collaborative solutions that create sustainable, attainable, and community-rooted housing for all.
We align local stakeholders to create, fund, and support attainable housing programs—like the community-funded Welcome Home Greenville project.
The Welcome Home Greenville project marks a major step forward for rural workforce housing. Funded by local donors and designed using our three-unit housing model, this thoughtfully planned layout places the primary suite on one side of the home for privacy, complete with a walk-in closet and a spacious ensuite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the opposite side.
We’re building homes that feel like home. Our Attainable Workforce Housing Model focuses on building single-family homes —giving communities flexibility, affordability, and familiarity.

Plumas Rural Services, in partnership with The Almanor Foundation, Plumas Housing Council, LMNOP Designs Inc., Plumas County, California Housing & Community Development, and RRA Builders, announces a transformative workforce housing initiative. The project will construct 19 to 20 single-family homes, each with an attached accessory dwelling unit, creating 38 to 40 new rental units across Plumas County. Development will primarily focus on Greenville, with additional scattered-site rentals planned in other parts of the county.
The Almanor Foundation reports that a ribbon-cutting ceremony Sept. 24 celebrated the first completed house through Welcome Home Greenville, an innovative community-financed housing project that is part of a larger initiative launched by TAF three years ago.
The 1,280-square-foot three-bedroom home, located at 166 Hot Springs Road, was completely financed by local community members, reports TAF. The house is being sold at the developer’s cost of $285,500, with the proceeds from the sale to be reinvested into building additional low-cost homes.
