Nonprofit determined to bring veteran housing to Southern Nevada despite setback [Video]

NORTH LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Leaders with a national nonprofit that builds veteran housing complexes across the nation with supportive services say they’re determined to bring a development to Southern Nevada.

This comes after the North Las Vegas Planning Commission recommended denying the group’s proposal in October, leaving some veterans in the community upset.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation bought a parcel of land near Pecos Road and Centennial Parkway in North Las Vegas intending to build a 112-unit permanent veteran housing complex that would also provide wraparound services like employment assistance and mental health support.

Foundation leaders say they build complexes like these around the nation in areas with high rates of unhoused veterans, with the ultimate goal of eradicating veteran homelessness.
