Nevada nonprofit dedicated to Latino voter engagement holds press conference on housing crisis
The event shed light on findings from recent polling conducted by the Center for Popular Democracy and the Right to the City Alliance, revealing growing voter concern about housing issues in battleground states, including Nevada.
According to the poll, 48% of Nevada voters surveyed say they would vote for a candidate who supports government funding for affordable housing.
And 51% say they would support a candidate who advocates for rent stabilization measures.
District 15 Senate candidate Angie Taylor emphasized the urgent need for affordable housing, especially for vulnerable populations.
“The cry for affordable housing is even louder now,” Taylor said. “It’s housing opportunities for women. Veterans are oftentimes on a fixed income, right? Or single moms or seniors. How do we help the seniors, a growing vulnerable population?”
While Nevada has made progress through legislation like AB396, which allocates funds for rental assistance programs in Clark County, Reno, and Sparks, Taylor acknowledged that more work remains. Her priorities include advocating for application and fees assistance, implementing rent control measures, and ensuring eviction protection.

LAS VEGAS, NV- The Las Vegas Rotary Club, in conjunction with Rotary Clubs throughout Southern Nevada, will host a community pickleball fundraiser in support of End Polio Now, Rotary International’s global effort to eradicate polio. The event will take place on Saturday, February 7th, from 1 to 4 p.m. at Chicken N Pickle Henderson, located at 3381 St. Rose Parkway.
The non-competitive, social event is chaired by Janice Lencke, president of the Las Vegas Rotary Club, on behalf of Rotary District 5300, which serves Southern Nevada and parts of California. The event invites players of all experience levels to come together for an afternoon of pickleball, fellowship and charitable giving, with proceeds benefiting Rotary’s polio eradication efforts.
“The Rotary Clubs of Southern Nevada, together with District 5300, are uniting to host this event to raise awareness and move one step closer to writing the final chapter in polio’s story—an ending marked by eradication,” said Janice Lencke. “Let’s finish what we started and #EndPolio for good.”
Rotary International is a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which was launched in 1988. Since that time, Rotary’s advocacy, fundraising and volunteer efforts have helped reduce polio cases worldwide by more than 99.9 percent, bringing the world closer than ever to eliminating the disease entirely. Polio eradication remains Rotary’s primary humanitarian focus and one of its most sustained global commitments.
General admission tickets include pickleball court access, lunch and sodas, one alcoholic drink ticket, a commemorative photo, one raffle ticket and free parking. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses and individuals who want to support the cause.
