Since the Great Recession, securing affordable housing has become increasingly difficult for Americans — and Nevadans — posing a significant challenge for policymakers. Extensive research has informed decision-making on various housing issues, including affordability, supply and demand, wealth building through property ownership, and the needs of specific populations such as seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities.

However, the housing and community-living needs of people with developmental disabilities (DD) remain underexamined. This study, commissioned by the Nevada Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities (NGCDD), evaluates the community-living needs and resources for people with DD in Nevada. It aims to provide an overview of the current housing and support landscape and suggests several policy considerations and areas for future research.
