By Ben Stocking for the Point Reyes Light, published on April 15, 2026. The Bolinas Community Land Trust has completed its purchase of the Tacherra ranch, marking a milestone in a broad-based effort to build permanent, affordable housing for about 60 longtime residents who were displaced from condemned housing at the site.

Inside this issue: more on recently-completed purchase of the 160 Mesa Road property, a closer look at the CLT model and movement, and an interview with beloved community member and BCLT resident Charlie.

An op-ed by Annie O’Connor and Jarrod Russell. Published in the Point Reyes Light on March 3, 2026.

This month we took the opportunity to speak with Charlie, a Bolinas-Stinson School graduate and current employee, a Bo-Stin Summer Camp Counselor, and a BCLT resident.

The project will replace temporary housing with permanent homes for longtime Bolinas residents while preserving farmland and open space.

Mark your calendars to join us on Saturday, April 18th from afternoon ‘til late to celebrate with us at the Borg Barn for our 40-ish anniversary!
