Nevada officials will embark next month on a key step toward constructing a massive campus that will provide transitional housing and other supportive services to the growing number of Southern Nevadans experiencing homelessness.
On Jan. 10, the Governor’s Office of Economic Development is expected to select a nonprofit to oversee the development of the 20-acre facility aimed at providing people a pathway to permanent housing.
The initiative began in the final days of the 2023 legislative session with the passage of AB528, an emergency bill that allocated $100 million in funds for the project, released only if another $100 million (expected to be led by the tourism industry alongside other community groups) is dedicated to the project.
