The Housing Choice Voucher Program is the federal government&#8217;s major program that helps low-income families, elderly and disabled individuals, and veterans afford housing in the private market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the federal formulas that allocate vouchers are based on outdated population calculations dating back to the 2000 census. This legislation authorizes an additional two billion dollars in funding for the Housing Choice Voucher program to make sure public housing authorities that represent the country\u2019s 25 fastest-growing cities with a population of over 100,000 can provide enough vouchers to meet the needs of their populations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNevada is facing an affordable housing crisis, and it makes no sense that an outdated allocation formula is preventing us from receiving our fair share of federal housing vouchers,\u201d <strong>dijo el Senador Rosen. <\/strong>\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m helping to introduce a bill to update the formula and provide additional funding to fast-growing cities like Las Vegas. I\u2019ll keep pushing for solutions to lower housing costs for Nevada families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLas Vegas is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, and as our population expands, so does our need for affordable housing,\u201d <strong>said Senator Cortez Masto. <\/strong>\u201cCurrent housing voucher programs aren\u2019t cutting it, and this legislation would fill that gap to help working Nevada families find homes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senators Rosen and Cortez Masto are working to lower housing costs and prevent housing prices from increasing further. Earlier this month, Rosen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2025\/03\/03\/rosen-urges-trump-administration-to-take-action-to-prevent-higher-housing-prices-as-a-result-of-tariffs-on-canada-and-mexico\/\">sent a letter<\/a> urging the Trump Administration to reverse course on imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico, which can raise housing construction costs. Senator Rosen also recently introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2025\/01\/22\/rosen-blackburn-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-support-housing-construction-workforce-help-lower-housing-costs\/\">bipartisan legislation<\/a> to invest in the construction workforce to be able to build more housing and help lower costs. Last year, Senator Rosen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2024\/07\/10\/rosen-horsford-urge-administration-to-expand-housing-support-in-nevada\/\">urged<\/a> HUD to increase the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority\u2019s (SNRHA) Housing Choice Vouchers allocation by 10,000 vouchers over five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite Population Booms In Recent Decades, Cities Like Las Vegas Receive Far Fewer Affordable Housing Vouchers Than Smaller, Older Cities WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) introduced the Housing Choice Vouchers Fairness Act to update the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development\u2019s (HUD) decades-old [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press_release"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 -
