CATT COMMUNITY PROJECT

CATT Community Project (CATT CP) is a 501(c)3 charitable organization sponsored by the Contractors Association of Truckee Tahoe (CATT). CATT CP was founded with the intent to promote a positive image for the local construction industry by having local contractors contribute generously to community improvement projects. Established in 1999, CATT CP celebrates 23 years of giving back to our community by providing construction assistance to local nonprofits and deserving groups. If you live and work in the Truckee Tahoe area, you are likely to have seen at least one of the 26 projects that CATT CP has contributed to. The Mission of CATT CP is: To be a conduit for funds, materials, volunteerism and project coordination towards the restoration or construction of selected structures that are deemed beneficial to the community.

Current Project

CATT CP has forged a transformative partnership with The South Lake Tahoe School District and their CTE Program, aiming to empower students with hands-on experience and address a pressing need for affordable housing. Through this collaboration, CATT CP is providing crucial resources including materials, funding, and technical expertise to support students in constructing tiny homes. Not only does this initiative offer teachers a solution for affordable living, but it also cultivates a dynamic learning environment where students can acquire new and marketable skills in construction and design. By combining practical application with educational development, this partnership not only enriches the lives of teachers and students but also strengthens the community by fostering innovation and opportunity.
