-
Homeowners in Nevada continually face challenges. The loss of insurance coverage due to wildfire risk is just adding to their list of worries.
-
The Tahoe region, known for its pristine lake and year-round outdoor recreation, has long struggled with a familiar challenge: housing. For the thousands of people who keep Tahoe running, from teachers to restaurant staff to mental health advocates, finding a place to live that’s safe, affordable, and near their work is often out of reach.
-
Many in Generation Z are having a difficult time finding affordable rent in Northern Nevada. This is becoming more common among the generation across the country to stay at home to save money instead.
-
A regional crackdown on homelessness last year was supposed to push unhoused people into services. But jail data suggests more of them were already ending up behind bars.
-
When Nevada wrote its constitution in 1864, the state specifically relinquished any right to land that settlers hadn't already claimed. That probably sounded like a great idea at the time. The vast tracts of federally owned land provided room for livestock grazing, mineral exploration and extraction, as well as recreation.
-
On the Walker River Paiute Tribe reservation, tribal officials and community members plant their shovels to break ground on the highly anticipated water looping system. A project that will allow the tribe to build more housing and add more economic development to the 325,000-acre reservation.
-
