The Senior Citizens' Advisory Board meeting on October 2, 2025, kicked off with a clear focus on housing issues affecting seniors in Las Vegas. The meeting, which was confirmed to be in compliance with Nevada's open meeting law, featured a significant presentation by Maurice Paige, the executive director of the Nevada Housing Coalition.
Paige provided an overview of the recent legislative session, highlighting achievements and future goals related to affordable housing for seniors. He emphasized the coalition's mission to promote the development and preservation of affordable housing through collaboration and advocacy. With seven years of experience, the coalition has been instrumental in pushing for housing initiatives across the state.
The meeting also included the approval of minutes from the previous session, with board members expressing unanimous support. However, the spotlight remained on housing, as Paige's insights underscored the ongoing challenges and opportunities in ensuring accessible housing for the senior population.
As the board continues to address these critical issues, the discussions from this meeting signal a proactive approach to enhancing the living conditions for seniors in the community. The next steps will likely involve further collaboration with various organizations to advance housing initiatives in Nevada.
