Las Vegas City Wire

Dina Titus, representing Nevada's 1st district in the U.S. Congress, has been advocating for policies addressing housing and urban development, local transportation, and immigrant education. On March 31, 2025, she raised concerns about federal housing policies affecting cities like Las Vegas.

In her post on March 31, 2025, Titus emphasized the need for updated housing policies, stating, "Housing is a basic right, but HUD’s outdated policies put fast-growing cities like Las Vegas behind. That’s why I led the Housing Vouchers Fairness Act today with @SenRubenGallego @RepGregStanton @RepYassAnsari to provide more access to safe affordable housing #OnlyInDistrictOne". This reflects her focus on facilitating affordable housing in her district.

On the topic of transportation and local culture, Dina Titus tweeted on April 1, 2025 about funding she helped secure for sustainable transportation initiatives, noting, "Last year I helped secure $142,500 for @RTCSNV to purchase 37 e-bikes and build 24 docks in 6 stations across East Las Vegas. Local artist Melody Gallegos recently gave three of the new locations a makeover."

Finally, Titus raised concerns regarding immigrant education services in her post on April 1, 2025, pointing out, "Nonprofits in Southern Nevada like @ACDCNV that provide citizenship education classes for those going through the naturalization process just had their grants canceled by @DHSgov. Without these services, immigrants seeking to obtain U.S. citizenship will be left behind." Her comment highlights the impact of the grant cancellations on the local immigrant community.
