Community Development

We are proud of our Battle Born heritage and we do everything we can to help make our beautiful Silver State a great place to live for all. We don’t stop at helping residents find affordable housing—we team up with local developers and builders to help build new developments and rehabilitate existing properties, and we help address environmental concerns and assist in meeting your home or building’s weatherization needs, all in the name of creating a healthy, happy, thriving, rural Nevada. We know that we get more done together, so we work with rural communities throughout the state to assess, develop, and implement a whole host of affordable housing and community development solutions. Our approach is a collaborative one, bringing together local government, private business, for-profit and non-profit interests, and social service organizations to maximize resources and achieve local and regional affordable housing goals and objectives.
