NevadaNevada sets aside $21 million for supportive housing grants
Nevada’s Housing Division must run a grant program for supportive housing, with $21 million set aside to help pay for it.
What it does
Nevada’s Housing Division must run a grant program for housing and support services for people with disabling health conditions who have faced homelessness or unnecessary institutional care. The state sets aside $21 million for the program.
Money for supportive housing goes into a state General Fund account. Any money left at the end of a fiscal year stays in the account for the next year.
If the Governor requests no money for the supportive housing account, the Governor must send the Legislature a statement explaining why.
Argument forGrants could help people with disabling health conditions who have faced homelessness or unnecessary institutional care find housing with support services.
Argument againstIf a future Governor requests no money for the program, the required explanation may not provide the funds needed to keep grants going.
More detail
The Housing Division must develop and run a grant program for supportive housing. Supportive housing serves people with a disabling health condition who have experienced homelessness, face an immediate risk of homelessness, or have experienced unnecessary institutional care. The program must let people apply for grants to develop housing, build partnerships, support their work, and track progress. Grant recipients must agree in writing to follow applicable landlord-tenant law. Before approving a grant to develop housing, the Division must consult the state homelessness advisory council. The act took effect upon passage and approval. The $21 million appropriation is for carrying out the grant program.
The state keeps supportive housing money in a General Fund account and carries any year-end balance forward. The account is the Nevada Supportive Housing Development Account. The Division may accept gifts, grants, and other contributions for the account. Money in the account must be used for the supportive housing program. The act took effect upon passage and approval.
The Governor must explain why the proposed budget requests no money for the account. This applies when the Governor’s proposed budget requests no money for the account to run the supportive housing grant program. The Governor must send the statement to the Legislative Counsel Bureau Director for delivery to the Legislature. This requirement starts with the proposed executive budget for the 2027–2029 budget period.
