Southern Nevada has a growing affordable-housing crisis.

Southern Nevada has a growing affordable-housing crisis. Nevada is ranked as the worst state in the nation at providing affordable housing to extremely low-income families. Some 168,000 low-income households in Clark County need assistance obtaining affordable housing. Wait lists in Nevada have nearly doubled in size since 2014 for the nation’s most prolific type of affordable housing. Last year Nevada had the fourth-lowest homeownership rate among U.S. states. Only 55 percent of Nevada households owned a home.
