Recommendations for Affordable Housing
In August 2005, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas LIED Institute hosted their 8th Annual Real Estate Roundtable. The discussions center on finding solutions to increasing the supply of housing, lowering the cost of housing, and creating programs for new housing. The focus resulted from the knowledge that in the past 10 years, the population of Clark County has increased by 77% leading to a shortage of approximately 40,000 units short of affordable housing.
Here are a few of the resulting Roundtable recommendations:
• Explore community land trusts as a tool that can be developed to expand affordable and attainable housing in Las Vegas.
• Evaluate and possibly modify current zoning regulations and design standards that inhibit reducing housing costs and constrain innovative design and development.
• Expand the amount and sources of funding to support the development of affordable and attainable housing.
• Ensure appropriate research has been conducted on local needs and resources and what has worked and not worked in other communities.
• Engage BLM at both the local and federal levels to release land so as to thoughtfully develop and expand affordable and attainable housing options for the community.
