Raul Cardoza leaves behind daughters aged 18 and 20 and his boss who said he regarded him, an employee for 25 years, “like a family member.”
Alan Molasky, chairman and founder of Ovation Development Corp., announced that Ovation and its nonprofit partner, Coordinated Living of Southern Nevada (CLSN), were awarded two grants totaling $21.9 million from Clark County Community Housing Funds (CHF) for the development of two affordable housing projects.
When state lawmakers allocated a quarter of a billion dollars of federal American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds last spring to develop and preserve affordable housing, they were aiming to alleviate Nevada’s increasing housing costs — which at that time were skyrocketing to record levels.
In modern times, states fund job training, hoping that putting people to work will overcome economic need, which often leads to homelessness.
The Nevada Housing Coalition estimates the state has a deficit of more than 105,000 affordable units and is short roughly 84,000 units for extremely low-income renters, or those earning 30 percent or less of the area median income.
