Governor Joins Groundbreaking for Fernley Attainable Housing Project: 37 Homes for Working Families
Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo joined Ryder Homes, local officials and community leaders in Fernley on Oct. 8 to break ground on Wilson Landing, a new housing development intended to expand homeownership opportunities for working families.
Wilson Landing is among Northern Nevada's first housing developments to move forward with support from the Nevada Attainable Housing Account (NAHA), established through Assembly Bill 540, the Nevada Housing Access and Attainability Act. The Nevada Housing Division approved a $5 million low-interest loan through NAHA for the project; as the loan is repaid, the dollars will be reinvested in future housing projects. The development is planned to include 37 for-sale homes of 1,300 to 1,700 square feet, serving qualified households earning up to 150 percent of area median income.
Lombardo said the project represents what the state hoped to accomplish by creating new tools to expand attainable housing: working with homebuilders and communities like Fernley to increase supply and help families put down roots where they live and work.
Housing affordability remains one of Nevada's most closely watched issues — and a central topic in this year's governor's race — as the state tests loan-based tools to spur more workforce housing.
