Brand new, high-quality affordable apartment homes are on the way for local seniors! Nevada HAND broke ground yesterday at Serene Pines, a new 281-unit affordable senior community in South Las Vegas, set to open in 2028.

We have many development partners to thank for making Serene Pines possible. We are especially grateful for Clark County, Nevada's support of Serene Pines — at $20.6M, it represents the single largest Welcome Home Community Housing Fund investment to date! Wells Fargo Corporate & Investment Banking provided essential support through $37M in tax equity and a $42.4M construction loan; Freddie Mac Multifamily provided permanent financing of $12.8M; and Stonehenge Capital provided $3.2M in State Tax Credit equity. The State of Nevada Housing Division's ongoing, invaluable partnership through direct funding and tax credits has been essential to Serene Pines and so many other affordable communities across our state. Finally, we are thrilled that this project broke ground during , as the land acquisition loan for Serene Pines was provided by NeighborWorks Capital!

Thank you to our Nevada HAND leadership and esteemed guest speakers for helping us celebrate this step forward as we all work together to address Nevada's urgent need for more affordable housing.

Residents enjoy amenities like community spaces, a fitness center, computer lab, courtyard areas, free laundry, transportation, and personalized support through our on-site Resident Services program.
