Duplex houses in Las Vegas

Construction of new housing complex in Las Vegas is expected to begin 2006 March and is expected to be completed in 2007. These housing units will be built on the site of former Ernie Cragin Annex 3, which housed 54 housing units, built in 1970.

The project will be constructed on 8.13 acres of land and will be located at East Charleston Boulevard and Honolulu Street. Eight million dollars of federal funds, $7.5 million from tax credits and $1 million from housing authority reserve fund will be used to fund the project.

The new ones replaced the old units because the old ones were not energy efficient and needed modernization. The new plan had place for increased number of units and had recreational facility for the families. It will have multi family duplexes with attached garages. Apart from senior citizens there are more than 500 families waiting for public housing. Continuous growth in Las Vegas and the increasing demand for public housing will see the replacement of old public housing by the new ones.
