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.

The Bolinas Community Land Trust and Habitat for Humanity Greater San Francisco have teamed up to build eight new affordable homes all designed with long-term affordability in mind.

Habitat for Humanity will develop the eight-unit affordable housing complex planned for downtown Bolinas, marking its largest collaboration yet with the Bolinas Community Land Trust. The project marks a strategic shift for the land trust, which had originally planned to develop the project on its own.

The deadline to submit an application in person or to receive a new Dropbox link for your application is TODAY, Thursday, November 10 at 5:00 PM.
