Local families looking for stable housing now have a new option as the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority officially opened Gholson Landing. The 121-unit community in Las Vegas is already nearly 80 percent leased.
Why it matters
The $32 million project aims to mitigate the regional housing shortage that continues to challenge valley residents. By targeting households at specific income brackets, the development adds much-needed inventory to a constrained market.
The $32 million development includes 121 apartments ranging from 600 to 1,300 square feet. The community is currently at 80 percent capacity with eligibility limited to households earning between 30 and 80 percent of the area median income.
