In Nevada and across the country, families are finding it harder and harder to afford the safety and security of a roof over their heads. All Nevadans and all Americans should be able to afford a home, so one of my top priorities as a senator has been to work with my partners in the state to lower housing costs.
This month, I reintroduced my Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE) Act. This bill would permanently reauthorize my 2022 PRICE grant program, which provided $225 million in grants to revitalize manufactured homes and manufactured housing communities. The program specifically set aside funds for affordable housing in Tribal communities.
I have been a champion of programs funded by the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA) for years. These programs provide funding for the construction of affordable housing in Tribal communities.
I also pushed the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to provide a historic $9.4 million for Nevada last year, which, in part, supported the construction of new homes in Tribal communities.
All Nevadans should have access to housing they can afford, and I will continue working with community leaders across the Silver State to deliver solutions.
