Rising home and land prices are displacing the long-term residents who built our communities in the Mother Lode. The Residin Fund helps them remain rooted.
For decades, families in Calaveras, Amador, and Tuolumne counties have lived, worked, raised children, and supported local businesses. These "Residins" — multi-generational residents with deep roots — are the backbone of the Mother Lode.
Surging demand, outside investment, and limited housing supply have driven prices dramatically higher. Long-time residents on fixed incomes and young families inheriting homes are facing impossible choices: sell the only home they’ve known, or leave the community they helped build.
Emergency assistance for property tax relief, minor repairs, and support for long-term residents facing sudden hardship.
Access to tenant/homeowner rights education, property tax appeal help, and connections to local legal resources.
Programs that strengthen ties: oral history, neighborhood micro-grants, and pathways for the next generation to stay.
Your donation helps keep families who built the Mother Lode from being displaced.
New residents fall in love with the character of Calaveras, Amador & Tuolumne — the very character built by long-term families. Invite them to honor that legacy.
Join realtors committed to balanced, community-first growth.
We are pursuing fiscal sponsorship with trusted local foundations (Amador Community Foundation, Calaveras Community Foundation, Sonora Area Foundation) so every contribution is properly received, reported, and used only for charitable purposes supporting long-term residents.
Once live under a fiscal sponsor, we will publish quarterly financial summaries and maintain full public accountability.
The people who have resided here the longest deserve to remain part of its future.
Your support helps long-term residents stay rooted in the Mother Lode.
Thank you for committing to honor the long-term residents of the Mother Lode.
