In April, Governor Joe Lombardo introduced the housing access and attainability act that he says will increase availability of homes and generate about 4 dollars for every one dollar invested.

This comes at a time when the median price of a home in Nevada is at the record of $485,000. It's also at a time when the rate of evictions in Las Vegas is around 13 percent.

For a primer on the bill, how it's being sold to lawmakers and what lawmakers think about it, we speak to Lucia Starbuck, a politics reporter for sister-station KUNR in Reno.
