An affordable-housing complex catered to military veterans is in the works for the eastern edge of the Las Vegas Valley.
Fixx Development Corp has set out to build a 348-unit apartment complex along Vegas Valley Drive just west of Hollywood Boulevard. It would have up to 108 “transitional” units for veterans who are homeless or otherwise struggling to find stable housing, and at least 240 units of more traditional housing for low-income tenants, according to Sheila Lambert, a managing partner with the project.
She put the total development costs at $90 million.
Overall, the community would consist of “two distinct yet complementary projects” that serve veterans and their families, according to the developer’s website.
Plans call for the complex to include on-site services such as case management, benefits navigation, health and wellness programming, and career support.
According to Lambert, more than 30,000 veterans in Clark County need some level of affordable housing.
“This project is really a drop in the bucket as to what is needed,” she said in an interview last month.
The project site is currently part of a Las Vegas city-owned solar panel field. The Las Vegas City Council in December approved taking steps to sell a 14.7-acre section of the facility — the portion penciled for the housing complex — to the developer for $8,959,000, just shy of the appraised value of $8.96 million.
Lambert said her group is responsible for removing the solar panels from the project site and will help relocate them so they can be used elsewhere.
Despite being owned by the city, the property is in unincorporated Clark County. Under the terms of the land sale, city records show, the deal would close after the developer obtains project approvals from the county.
Lambert said her team aims to secure the approvals in May or June and to start construction this fall.
With the bulk of its population in the Las Vegas area, Nevada has long faced a steep shortage of affordable housing units.
Early last year, the Kenny Guinn Center for Policy Priorities reported that Nevada was grappling with a “severe housing affordability crisis,” as nearly half of the state’s renters were “excessively cost-burdened” and income growth had “lagged far behind housing costs.”
Nevada HAND, the state’s largest affordable-housing developer, operates 5,400 units, all in Southern Nevada, and the vacancy rate is minimal.
“There’s tremendous need,” Waldon Swenson, vice president of corporate affairs at Nevada HAND, recently said.
