Gov. Steve Sisolak announced last week that government, state and municipal agencies have aligned together to establish "Home Means Nevada," an affordable-housing initiative that interested developers can participate in.

"I am struck by the breadth of partners who have come together in support of this important initiative — I know that you all share the same understanding that I do — housing is an immensely complex issue, and a critical priority," Gov. Sisolak said in a recent news release from his office. "Nevadans are depending on us, and I know that together we can help solve this crisis."

"I'm pleased to be here in Nevada for this historic announcement," Housing and Urban Development Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman said in the release. "Advancing housing opportunities is a priority of the Biden-Harris administration; and the 'Home Means Nevada' initiative is a significant investment in housing, made possible by the President's American Rescue Plan. I applaud Gov. Sisolak and the state legislature for putting these federal funds to work to address the housing costs and housing supply needs of the people of Nevada."

"Growing up in a working-class household, I know what it means for Nevada families to have a safe and affordable place to lay their head down at night," Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro said in the release. "I am proud to work with my colleagues in the Nevada Legislature to ensure our American Rescue dollars are working to help better the lives of Nevadans. Last week, we approved $250 million for the Home Means Nevada housing initiative; and thanks to Gov. Sisolak and our congressional delegation, we are working together to ensure more families, seniors and veterans across our state can have the security that comes with a home they can afford and a home they can stay in."
