Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority
Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority provides a variety of housing programs and supportive services in Las Vegas, Nevada, including Public Housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and initiatives for community development.
Housing Programs
The Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority (SNRHA) provides several housing programs to meet the needs of the community. These include Public Housing, Affordable Housing, and the Housing Choice Voucher program. Additionally, SNRHA offers the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program which allows for the conversion of public housing properties to long-term project-based Section 8 rental assistance. Each program aims to offer quality housing solutions to low-income residents in Southern Nevada.
Family Self Sufficiency Program
SNRHA operates the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program to help families participating in the Housing Choice Voucher program achieve economic independence. The FSS program provides participants with resources and support aimed at helping them increase their earned income and reduce their dependency on government assistance. Support includes career counseling, financial literacy education, and job training services.
Section 3 Program
The Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority is an active participant in the Section 3 program, which ensures that employment, training, and contracting opportunities are directed to low- and very low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government-assisted housing. This initiative is designed to foster economic opportunities within the communities SNRHA serves, directly benefiting residents through employment from covered projects.
Locations and Board Meetings
SNRHA hosts its Board Meetings at the North Campus located at 340 N 11th Street, Las Vegas, Nevada. Furthermore, the authority has a South Campus situated at 5390 E Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, Nevada. These campuses serve as central hubs for administrative operations and community interactions.
Supportive Services
In addition to housing programs, SNRHA offers a range of supportive services aimed at enhancing the well-being of residents. These include Senior Services and the ROSE Foundation, which provide resources and support to older adults. These services are designed to improve the quality of life for senior residents by offering access to health, social, and recreational services.
Small Business Opportunity Program
The Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority provides a Small Business Opportunity Program as part of its procurement services. This program is designed to foster economic growth by offering opportunities for small businesses to participate in SNRHA projects. Through this initiative, small businesses can compete for contracts and procurement opportunities, thus enhancing their economic stability and growth.
Choice Neighborhoods Initiative
SNRHA is involved in the Choice Neighborhoods Initiative, which is focused on transforming distressed neighborhoods into viable, mixed-income communities. One of the key areas of focus is the Historic Westside, where initiatives aim to rejuvenate housing, increase access to services, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents. This effort demonstrates SNRHA's commitment to community development and revitalization.
