Specifically, U.S.VETS Las Vegas and the Salvation Army in Southern Nevada will receive $5.6 million and over $3.1 million, respectively, to help veterans and their families secure and maintain stable housing. Additionally, Nation\u2019s Finest\u2014which serves veterans in Mohave County, Arizona and Clark County, Nevada\u2014will receive nearly $23 million to provide critical services to veteran families in rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur veterans sacrificed so much for our country, and it\u2019s our responsibility to take care of them,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cI have always supported funding for programs to end veteran homelessness, and I\u2019m glad to see this federal funding is coming to Nevada to ensure veterans have the support they deserve. I\u2019ll keep working in a bipartisan way on behalf of Nevada\u2019s veterans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVeterans in Nevada should never have to worry about having a roof over their heads,\u201d <strong>said Senator Cortez Masto<\/strong>. \u201cThis funding will help ensure that veterans get the benefits they\u2019ve earned \u2013 from housing support to personalized counseling, and short-term aid for vital needs like rent and utilities. I\u2019ll keep working to make sure every Nevada veteran has access to safe, secure, and affordable housing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This funding comes on the heels of a 4.5% drop in veteran homelessness nationwide between 2020 and 2023. In 2023 alone, the VA successfully placed more than 46,500 homeless veterans into permanent housing. Senators Rosen and Cortez Masto are working to continue to lower housing costs and keep Nevadans in their homes. Rosen has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/rosen-leads-colleagues-bipartisan-call-increase-funding-support-homeless-veteran-housing-and\/\">led a bipartisan call<\/a> to fund HUD\u2019s Veteran Affairs and Supportive Housing program, which provides support for veterans experiencing homelessness and health problems, and Cortez Masto is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cortezmasto.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/cortez-masto-introduces-legislation-to-address-affordable-housing-crisis-fund-new-units-acrohttps:\/www.cortezmasto.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/cortez-masto-introduces-legislation-to-address-affordable-housing-crisis-fund-new-units-across-nevada\/ss-nevada\/\">leading<\/a> legislation to significantly increase the amount of federal funds available for the Department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s (HUD) HOME Investment Partnership Program to build more affordable homes across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosen and Cortez Masto are also champions for servicemembers and veterans, as well as for their families. They worked across the aisle to pass the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2022\/08\/10\/rosen-supported-legislation-to-provide-health-care-benefits-to-toxic-exposed-veterans-signed-into-law\/\"><em>PACT Act<\/em><\/a> to ensure veterans suffering from toxic exposure in the line of duty get the medical care they need.

She also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2023\/09\/22\/rosen-secures-nearly-1-million-to-help-homeless-veterans-access-affordable-housing-in-reno\/\">secured $1 million<\/a> in funding to help combat veteran homelessness and improve housing access in northern Nevada.
