LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — After pandemic-era tenant protection laws and the federal eviction moratorium ended, a growing eviction crisis has been unfolding in Nevada.
NORTH LAS VEGAS – Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04) today announced a new agreement between the U.S. Departments of Housing and Urban Development and the Interior that will make it easier and more affordable for local communities in Southern Nevada to build affordable housing on federal lands.
Today, I stand in strong support of the hard-working labor force that drives our country forward. As a representative for Nevada, which includes the Las Vegas area, I am well aware of the dangers that come with the scorching summer heat. Unfortunately, the Texas governor's new policy has eliminated water break protections, impacting not only Texas but also areas like Nevada, where we are experiencing record-breaking temperatures. I firmly believe that we need Federal action to protect these hardworking workers.
