Nevada’s brewing insurance crisis: a moral issue of housing and climate justice

As insurers withdraw from high wildfire-risk areas, hundreds of Nevada homeowners are losing coverage, and, in some cases, the stability of their homes. This growing insurance crisis exposes how climate change deepens housing insecurity, especially for rural and working families.

For people of faith, this is not just about economics, it is about protecting our neighbors and ensuring every Nevadan can live with dignity and safety.


LEAN continues to advocate for fair housing policies, consumer protections, and climate action rooted in justice and compassion.
