Nevada Housing Law Drives $38M State Investment in Affordable Housing
What happened
The Nevada Attainable Housing Council approved approximately $38 million to support 10 building projects across Nevada. This funding comes from Governor Joe Lombardo’s housing law, AB 540, which established the Nevada Attainable Housing Account. The projects are expected to provide 891 homes and apartments, including units in Henderson, Sparks, Las Vegas, and Carson City.
Why it matters
The state’s General Fund backs the Nevada Attainable Housing Account with $133 million, using this investment to increase housing supply. The plan is designed to leverage public and private investment to help Nevada families find affordable housing.
New laws have been passed to address the housing crisis in counties involving Clark and Nevada.
