Nevada Assemblymembers Sandra Jauregui and Daniele Monroe-Moreno’s Bills to Combat the Affordable Housing Crisis Advance
Idea Category: Housing
Nevada Assemblymembers Sandra Jauregui and Daniele Monroe-Moreno bills to strategically combat Nevada’s affordable housing crisis are advancing through the legislature. Assemblymember Jauregui’s bill AB 241, which was approved by the Assembly, would require counties to speed up the re-zoning processes to transform underutilized commercial property into residential or mixed use units. “Many commercial properties, particularly aging strip malls and vacant office buildings, are underutilized,” Jauregui said during the bill’s hearing in March. “Repurposing them for housing makes better use of existing infrastructure. Building homes closer to jobs, schools and public transit reduces commute times, lowers greenhouse gas emissions and decreases urban sprawl.” Assemblymember Monroe-Moreno’s AB 366 would allocate $25 million to fund supportive housing initiatives for Nevadans experiencing homelessness.
