Nevada is currently suffering from one of the worst shortages of affordable housing in the nation, and the lack of skilled residential construction workers is a key reason behind it. This letter seeks to reduce barriers to housing development and bolster the skilled workforce needed to address the housing crisis in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile the need to expand housing supply is greater than ever, barriers to development create a challenging environment for developers to build more housing and lower housing costs. In particular, developers report that a major limiting factor in the capacity to build more housing is the shortage of skilled construction workers, with a recent study finding the construction industry will need half a million additional workers this year just to meet demand,\u201d <strong>wrote Senator Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cWith fewer skilled workers available, construction can take longer, driving costs up and making it harder to keep homes priced affordably. It is simply too expensive to build affordable housing in this high-cost environment, and a shortage of construction workers contributes significantly to those rising costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI urge HUD and DOL to work in partnership to invest more in workforce development and training programs specifically for the residential construction industry \u2013 to ensure local construction companies have the well-trained, skilled workers they need to increase the supply of housing in communities that need it most,\u201d <strong>she continued.<\/strong> \u201cThrough workforce training programs that strengthen the local construction workforce \u2013 including existing DOL registered apprenticeships that could be further expanded \u2013 we can support housing development, help communities address the severe housing shortage, lower overall housing costs, and create good-paying jobs that don\u2019t require a degree from a traditional four-year college.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The full text of the letter can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/9.09.24-Letter-to-HUDDOL-re-Housing-Construction-Workforce.pdf\">HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has been a leader in the fight to lower housing costs and support Nevada\u2019s skilled workforce.
