州长出席芬利可负担住房项目破土礼:37套住房面向工薪家庭

内华达州州长乔·隆巴多10月8日与Ryder Homes、芬利市(Fernley)地方官员和社区领袖一起,为新住房项目Wilson Landing举行破土仪式。该项目将扩大内华达州工薪家庭的购房机会。
Wilson Landing是北内华达首批获得「内华达可负担住房账户」(NAHA)支持推进的住房项目之一。该账户由州议会第540号法案——《内华达住房可及与可负担法案》设立。州住房局已批准通过NAHA向该项目提供500万美元低息贷款;贷款偿还后,资金将循环投入未来的住房项目。项目规划建设37套待售住房,面积约1300至1700平方英尺,面向收入不超过地区中位收入150%的合格家庭。
隆巴多表示,这个项目正是州政府创设新工具、扩大内华达可负担住房供应的初衷所在:通过与建商和芬利这样的社区合作,增加住房供应,让更多家庭能在生活和工作的地方扎根。Ryder Homes内华达业务副总裁史蒂夫·汤姆森表示,公司将继续建设回应北内华达住房需求的社区。
住房可负担性是内华达州近年最受关注的民生议题之一,也是今年州长选战的核心议题之一。州政府希望以可循环贷款等新工具,带动更多面向工薪家庭的住房项目落地。

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.
