WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced that the City of Reno Housing Authority will receive $447,445 in federal funding to support housing vouchers for Nevada veterans experiencing homelessness. Senator Rosen helped secure this funding as part of the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program, which she leads the push to fund every year. The Rosen-backed HUD-VASH program helps veterans find and keep safe, stable housing and is administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“Our veterans put their lives on the line for our country, and we must do everything we can to support them,” said Senator Rosen. “This funding will help veterans in our state have the resources to access housing and the services they need to get back on their feet. I’ll keep working to make sure that the men and women who served our nation have the support they’ve earned.”
Senator Rosen has long supported efforts to end veteran homelessness and expand access to affordable housing. This announcement builds on funding Senator Rosen helped secure in August 2024, when over $8.7 million was awarded to support housing and services for Nevada veterans and their families. In September 2023, she secured nearly $1 million for the City of Reno Housing Authority through HUD-VASH to assist homeless veterans and their families in accessing housing.
