Our Low Income Housing in Las Vegas, NV Fills a Big Need

Las Vegas, NV

Las Vegas, NV is no longer a dusty cow town. With nearly 1.5 million in the great area, Las Vegas is a major, sprawling metropolitan area with buzzing traffic and growing pains.  The strip, any kind of adult entertainment you can possibly imagine, warm to hot weather with little winter or rain, no state income tax…does it get any better than living in Las Vegas? If you are one of the multitudes of retirees flocking to the city that never sleeps, you probably are nodding your head in agreement. On the other hand, if you are one of the many tens of thousands of workers in the casinos, hotels, restaurants, and support businesses that keep those lights on 24-7, you probably already know that affordable and Las Vegas are mutually exclusive terms. There just isn’t cheap rent in Las Vegas.  


Our low income housing in Las Vegas helps solve problems. Las Vegas has one of the fastest growing costs of rent of any city in the United States, and there is no sign of it getting better. Two issues are pushing double digit increases every year in this desert oasis – build-out running into mountains and federal lands means no more land to expand on cheaply, and baby boomers. Las Vegas is attracting retirees, boomers, and even younger people hoping to find opportunity and lower cost of living in the area than where they are moving from. 


They think no winter heating bill will solve the crunch on the wallet. What they do not realize is Las Vegas is one of the places suffering (like Phoenix) from climate change issues, less rain, and higher temperatures that last longer in the summer. You trade heat for electric air conditioning bills and water costs.

Think Low Income Housing Las Vegas Area is Not Needed? Think Again

People who need lower cost, affordable housing are having a very hard time in Las Vegas. That includes retirees on social security, disabled veterans on very fixed incomes, and the regular day-to-day single moms with kids and families struggling to make ends meet.


There is also a large immigrant and refugee population in greater Las Vegas-Henderson-Boulder City as the casino industry needs people willing to work long, hard hours at all hours and preferably speak a second and maybe third language. Most singles simply cannot afford even a one bedroom apartment in the area, let alone a house if they choose to marry and start a family.


Many people are still reeling from the last downturn in the area, and the current health issues have hit Clark County very hard with massive layoffs. People are struggling to hang on and keep a roof over their heads. Section 8 housing is not readily available, either, and where it is available can be some rough parts of town with little to no public transportation. Vegas is very spread out and has heavy traffic, so living closer to where you work is a big help. Sadly, low income housing Las Vegas NV offers little in the shadow of the opulent places people work.


Let Us Help With Low Income Housing, Las Vegas, NV

Nevada has strict eviction law and Clark County has regulations that make it even more difficult to get into a place if you are trying to pull yourself up by the bootstraps. This is especially true if you have had serious credit issues, are getting your life straightened out after a prison sentence, or other challenges.


At Old Glory we work with all applicants, regardless of the situation, to see if we can help you with a second chance. We strongly believe that everyone is entitled to a safe home to go to in a decent neighborhood and you can afford to pay the rent. We work with veterans, the disabled, people coming out of prison, refugees, immigrants, single parents, families trying to get, or stay, off the street.


We look at each and every case individually. Since we have our own referral systems for resident services, and we manage our own property, we can make decisions and get to know our potential renters. We try to be fair and equitable in every transaction, because we know that we can help transform people’s lives through a decent place to live.

Low Income Housing in Las Vegas is Pretty Much Non-Existent

Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City, and the surrounding area, along with all of Nevada, fell on very hard times during the last recession. Nevada had the second highest number of foreclosures in the nation, and there are still houses around that the banks, private investors, and others are sitting on. These houses are getting worn down by the desert heat and time.


We look for those houses to rebuild, remodel, and refurbish into places that help the property values on your block. If you have a distressed property, or one that is in dire need of substantial repair and you just need to unload it, please call us or send in our contact form.


We are always looking for houses that we can rework into clean, working, decent homes for people. Want to donate? Great! We can arrange the paperwork and will be grateful for your gift. Do you have a nonprofit organization, a religious organization, a civic program, that is willing to partner with us? Come help us help local Las Vegas residents get into a decent home in a safe neighborhood that they can afford and keep them off the street.


We would love to talk with you or your group.

If you have tried to locate a place to rent in Las Vegas, you know just how frustrating it can be. It is not just the high rental prices, it is the large application fees that must be put down, as well as extensive credit checks you pay for, before they tell you nothing is available. Oh, by the way, all those fees are non-refundable, too.


Las Vegas has growing pains, both in lack of available housing and the burgeoning rental prices. It is truly hard for a regular working person to be able to afford much of anything in Las Vegas, let alone a home in a good neighborhood.

 

We don’t do business like that at Old Glory. We know exactly what our inventory of available homes is up front. We will tell you if we do not have anything available, or if we do. There are no hidden costs. We believe people need to be respected, as well as dealt with honestly in business.


We have a basic philosophy that we can transform lives one house at a time, making affordable, low income housing available while saving and improving neighborhoods. We don’t care where you are from, what your dad did for a living, or if you have a traffic ticket. We do care about working with you to get you into a safe, working decent home, keeping you off the street and able to keep your job instead of worrying about how to work two or three jobs just to pay rent.


Call us or send in our contact form, and we will get right back with you, whether you are a potential renter or want to partner with a company that cares about what happens to people. We will be waiting for your call.
