The unsheltered share fell from 52% to 48% of everyone counted (2023 to 2025).

Can a voucher find a home today?
Listings at or below Fair Market Rent, against households holding a voucher.
- Households using a voucher3,643
- Listings at or below FMR today2,048
56.2 affordable listings per 100 voucher households. Vouchers turn over slowly, so this measures how tight the market is for voucher holders who are searching, not a shortfall.
Tax-credit (LIHTC) units placed in service, and when their affordability ends
5,553 low-income units across 64 properties. Affordability commitments run 30 years (15 before 1990), so 2,071 units reach the end of their commitment between now and 2035 unless owners renew.
In the Range Lab directory, Clark County has 11 shelter and crisis-housing listings and 30 housing-assistance listings today.
