Community Housing

In Spring of 2022, the Welcome Home Program and Clark County’s Community Housing Fund (CHF) were created to address the urgent need for housing for low-income residents in Southern Nevada, including families, seniors, and those who are employed but unable to find affordable housing. Since then, the Board of County Commissioners has approved CHF funding of over $170 million for 36 housing developments across our community, both new construction and rehab, to ensure that Clark County residents have safe, modern, and most importantly, affordable places to call home. These Welcome Home funds are the first of their kind provided by a local government in Nevada and are helping to build or maintain approximately 3,700 units of low-income rental housing. The funds were provided to projects that needed gap financing to supplement Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and other financing sources.

In addition to the CHF fund, the Clark County Community Housing Office (CHO) also administers the County’s HOME, HOME-ARP, Private Activity Bonds, and other programs that support the development of affordable housing. As of May of 2024, there are nearly 5,000 units of permanent affordable and supportive housing in the pipeline relying on over $200 million in funding from Clark County.

Additional future Welcome Home programs include a Community Land Trust for affordable homeownership, continued annual CHF funding rounds, and opportunities for affordable housing development on county-owned and BLM land.
