LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Veterans Village is expanding to help the homeless situation in Las Vegas.
The nonprofit organization said 150 additional units will be added to its SHARE Village Las Vegas.
These spaces will be in addition to its original plan of 477 existing affordable housing units in its community master plan to help end homelessness in Southern Nevada.
“We have been diligently and strategically designing, planning, and implementing our expansion of new signature comprehensive housing with supportive services to all people in need of affordable housing in our community,” said Founder and President of Veterans Village Arnold Stalk.
