Joe Lombardo: “Over the last decade, land access challenges have contributed to Nevada’s housing crisis.”

This short-term relief will help families get through the immediate challenges, but we know some residents will need support for much longer as they work to return to stable housing.

This is an active and rapidly evolving situation, and I urge everyone in the affected areas to remain vigilant and follow the direction of local officials.

The actions from our first responders, state agencies, and local and federal partners have been nothing short of heroic while battling the Hawk Fire.

This year, I look forward to continuing our partnership as we pursue meaningful policy changes that strengthen student achievement and make it easier for teachers to do what they do best—teach.
