@nevadannews A new senior housing community is expected to open this fall with 171 units to help address southern Nevada’s affordable housing crisis.

Just this week, the Clark County Commissioners approved nearly $66.3 million in funding for housing projects. The funding will go to nine applicants for the construction or rehabilitation of more than 1,200 units for certain low-income families and seniors over the next couple of years.
