Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Clark County has approved over $30 million to support the construction and operation of affordable housing for extremely low-income residents in need of services and support.
The approved funding will support a variety of projects including:
A significant portion of the funds will be used to build a 50-unit development geared specifically towards individuals transitioning from homelessness or at high risk of homelessness, as well as supporting other at-risk groups. The project is a partnership between George Gekakis, Inc. and HELP of Southern Nevada and will help provide case management and other services.
Coordinated Living of Southern Nevada (CLSN) received funding for services that will be provided at a 50-unit development for extremely low-income individuals with chronic mental illnesses. This project, in partnership with Mojave Health, will provide intensive case management and psychiatric services.
Nevada HAND's project will receive funding to build and rehab units at one of two Nevada's low-income assisted living facilities; along with additional support for Sunrise Ranch – a 144-unit project dedicated to serve youth aging out of foster care and other at-risk populations.
The County Commission also ratified the allocation of more than $8.9 million in HUD HOME funds, destined for the construction of 629 affordable rental units for families, seniors, and the extremely low-income residents in need of “service-enriched” housing.
