WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 -- Sen. Jacky Rosen issued the following press release:

Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced that the Trump Administration finally released more than $3.3 million in federal funding for affordable housing across Nevada. This funding comes from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Housing Trust Fund Formula Grant Program Allocation, which provides grants to states to produce and preserve affordable housing for extremely low- and very low-income households. The Trump Administration withheld the funding for more than a year, with Senator Rosen joining colleagues in a letter (https://www.reed.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/letter_to_omb_re_withholding_housing_funds.pdf) in June demanding that these funds be released without further delay.

"Nevada is facing a real housing crisis, and we need to do everything we can to build and maintain more housing supply in our state. Whether it's refusing to sign landmark housing legislation or delaying the release of Housing Trust Fund dollars, Trump continues to disregard the need for more affordable housing in our state," said Senator Rosen. "I am proud to help secure millions of dollars in federal funding for affordable housing across Nevada, and I promise to continue fighting in the Senate to ensure that every Nevadan can afford a place they can call home."

Senator Rosen has prioritized actions to help lower the cost of housing for Nevadans. She helped pass (https://www.rosen.senate.gov/2026/06/22/rosen-helps-pass-bipartisan-bill-to-lower-housing-costs-increase-supply/) the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act into law. Senator Rosen has also introduced legislation (https://www.rosen.senate.gov/2026/02/26/rosen-coons-introduce-bill-to-exclude-homebuilding-materials-from-trumps-tariffs-help-lower-housing-prices/) to exempt homebuilding materials from Trump's tariffs, a bipartisan bill (https://www.rosen.senate.gov/2026/03/27/rosen-young-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-boost-housing-supply-and-lower-costs-by-helping-housing-small-businesses/) to support small businesses in the housing industry, and bipartisan legislation (https://www.rosen.senate.gov/2025/01/22/rosen-blackburn-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-support-housing-construction-workforce-help-lower-housing-costs/) to help grow the construction workforce, making it easier to build more houses and bring down costs.
