This progress will <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >include 192 units primarily serving low-income seniors aged 55<\/a> and older, with completion expected by the end of 2026. Located near I-15 off East Tonopah Avenue, the project is part of broader efforts to address Nevada&#8217;s critical housing affordability crisis, with a reported shortfall of over 32,000 homes in the Las Vegas Valley. While construction is helping to mitigate the shortage, experts emphasize the need for lower building restrictions to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stephen-curry-opposes-multi-family-development-near-his-30m-home\/\" title=\"Stephen Curry Opposes Multi-Family Development Near His M Home\">increase housing density<\/a> and affordability. Additionally, a larger housing development is underway in East Las Vegas, converting the Desert Pines golf course into over 1,500 mostly below-market-rate units, expected to be completed by 2036. North Las Vegas officials highlight the importance of such projects in providing safe, dignified housing for residents.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">North Las Vegas breaks ground on affordable housing<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2191816\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>(The Center Square)&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;Ground was broken Thursday on an $88 million <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/public-housing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">affordable housing<\/a> project in North <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/las-vegas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Las Vegas,<\/a> part of a statewide effort to increase affordable access.<\/p>\n<p>The 192-unit public development will primarily serve low-income <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senior-citizens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">seniors<\/a> and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3488648\/wisconsin-sees-record-apprenticeships-program-could-improve\/\">Wisconsin sees record apprenticeships, program could improve<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3488533\/yoon-suk-yeol-ousted-president-south-korea-protests-interrogation-laying-flat-refusing-move\/\">Ousted South Korea president protests interrogation by laying flat in his underwear, refusing to move<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3488612\/nj-regulations-impact-1-7-million-scontractors\/\">Proposed NJ regulations would impact up to 1.7 million self-employed workers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;My father would be both honored and proud of this new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/austin-to-establish-65-million-affordable-housing-community\/\" title=\"Austin To Establish  Million Affordable Housing Community\">affordable housing community<\/a> that bears his name,&rdquo; said state Sen.

Since last year, access in the area has decreased 6.8%.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Construction has helped prevent the housing deficit from ballooning, but it hasn&rsquo;t yet begun to close the gap,&rdquo; Zillow Senior Economist Orphe Divounguy said in a press release. &ldquo;We know what works: lower building restraints to allow for more density and less expensive housing. More of these measures at the local level can help get more homes built and begin to ease this outsize financial burden for millions of Americans.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While Thursday&rsquo;s groundbreaking represents one of the biggest recent affordable housing projects for the area, a much larger development has just begun across town.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In East Las Vegas, the publicly owned Desert Pines golf course has just been cleared for a $17.5 million sale, which will be used to create over 1,500 housing units, the vast majority of which below the market average.
