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.  In September of that year the Board of County Commissioners approved CHF funding of nearly $120 million for 30 housing developments across our community, both new construction and rehab, to ensure that Clark County residents have safe, modern, and most importantly, affordable options to call home.  These initial Welcome Home funds were the first of their kind provided by a local government in Nevada and are helping to build or maintain approximately 2,500 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 2023 Clark County has continued its investment in affordable housing and offered TWO Welcome Home funding rounds.  The first is for approximately $20 million dedicated to funding permanent supportive housing projects in Southern Nevada – this funding round includes nearly $10 million in federal HOME-ARP funding combined with other County funds.  The second 2023 Welcome Home funding round for 2023 is for $60 million in CHF for permanent affordable rental housing.  Further information about these opportunities can be found below.

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.

The County is in the process of creating the Welcome Home Community Land Trust. The Community Land Trust (CLT) will provide homeownership opportunities for low to moderate income first-time homebuyers in Clark County. The County expects to open applications for homebuyers in 2024 and 2025.

Through our Community Housing Office, Clark County manages our Private Activity Bond Cap and HUD  HOME funds. Both programs are available to affordable housing developers.
