U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto Tours New Senior Housing Complex in Las Vegas, Nev.

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is making strides in the fight for affordable housing in Nevada, as she recently toured the new West Sahara Senior Housing Complex in Las Vegas. This project, funded through the American Rescue Plan and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, will provide 171 one- and two-bedroom apartment units for Southern Nevada seniors.

During her visit, Senator Cortez Masto discussed her new legislation aimed at increasing federal funds for affordable housing nationwide, including those financed by the LIHTC program. She emphasized the importance of ensuring that hardworking Nevada families, especially seniors, have access to affordable housing.

The West Sahara Senior Housing Complex will offer free utilities and supportive services, making it a comfortable and affordable option for seniors in the area. Applications will be available in the coming weeks, providing much-needed housing options for Nevada seniors.

Senator Cortez Masto has a strong track record of advocating for affordable housing in Nevada. As Attorney General, she fought to hold Big Banks accountable for the foreclosure crisis, delivering billions to homeowners in the state. She has also secured millions in funding for affordable housing organizations and worked to streamline the process of building affordable housing across the state.

With her continued efforts and support for legislation like the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, Senator Cortez Masto is committed to making affordable housing a reality for all Nevadans.
