LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Having an affordable roof over your head is a problem for thousands across Southern Nevada including seniors.
Numerous affordable housing projects are popping up across the valley but not fast enough.
A new 171 affordable housing units for seniors are going up on West Sahara Avenue near Buffalo Drive and will open in the fall. It joins a growing list of buildings going up in the valley including in North Las Vegas where a 220-unit building opened on Monday.
With all those projects there is still a need for nearly 90,000 affordable housing units for seniors in Southern Nevada.
The new property is called West Sahara Senior Housing and will be one of the first affordable housing for seniors on the west side. It was funded by federal dollars from COVID relief funds, and they already have a long waiting list. The complex will be full when it opens this coming fall.
