Inside the housing legislation moving through Nevada’s legislature

How healthy is your community? 

In April, Governor Joe Lombardo introduced the Nevada Housing Access and Attainability Act, which he says will increase the availability of homes and generate about $4 for every $1 invested.

This comes at a time when the median price of a home in Nevada is at a record of $485,000. It’s also at a time when the rate of evictions in Las Vegas is around 13%.

For a primer on the bill, how it’s being sold to lawmakers and what lawmakers think about it, we speak to Lucia Starbuck, a politics reporter for sister station KUNR in Reno.
