TEXT~~~~~ OF25 REPEALED- SECTIONS83rd 315.011Session Legislative(2025) findings and declarations.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that:

1.

The policy of this State, to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing for persons of low income, is being thwarted by the frequent occurrence in public housing of activities concerning the unlawful possession, distribution and use of controlled substances.

2.

The provision of public housing has never been intended to help subsidize criminal behavior.

3.

These unlawful activities, conducted by an intimidating minority of the residents of public housing, are causing our public - *AB103_R1* – 14 – housing to become increasingly infested with violence, degeneracy and squalor, which imperils the physical and mental health of the peaceful residents therein.

4.

Persons residing with the active participants in these unlawful activities commonly share in the proceeds thereof or have the ability to prevent or interfere significantly in the conduct of the activities.

5.

It will promote the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of this State to require housing authorities to evict from public housing both the persons who actively participate in unlawful activities relating to the possession, distribution or use of controlled sub315.580 Housinge personforho veteransith andm.

servicemen or servicewomen.

1.

In addition to other powers conferred upon an authority by NRS 315.140 to 315.7813, inclusive, an authority may acquire property and construct housing projects thereon for the purpose of leasing dwellings to servicemen or servicewomen, veterans and their families, and the families of deceased persons who served in the Armed Forces, at rentals, excluding utilities, of not to exceed $50 per month, during the existence of the acute shortage of housing available to such persons as determined by applicable law or as may be provided for in any contract for financial assistance with the Federal Government.

authority shall not be subject to the limitations provided in NRS 315.500 or 315.510 during the period of acute housing shortage for veterans and servicemen or servicewomen, and their families and the families of deceased persons who served in the Armed Forces, of moderate income.
