The Nevada Housing Division is holding a public hearing to discuss a proposed plan for issuing multi-unit housing revenue notes or bonds. The bonds will finance or refinance the acquisition and construction of a residential multifamily rental housing project known as The Prospector Apartments, located in Washoe County. The public is invited to provide comments on the proposed issuance of the bonds and the use of the proceeds.

The State of Nevada's Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) establishes comprehensive policies and procedures to ensure robust public engagement in the development and oversight of its housing and community development programs, as mandated by HUD regulations. Key focus areas include maximizing participation from low and moderate-income persons and diverse populations through public hearings, extensive outreach, and language access services. The plan also outlines procedures for providing technical assistance, managing amendments to the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans, and addressing citizen complaints and grievances, all aimed at fostering transparency and community input in addressing housing, homeless, community, and economic development needs.

This five-year Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development for the State of Nevada outlines the state's needs and resource investments in housing, homelessness, non-homeless special needs populations, community development, and economic development. The plan is structured around key priorities including increasing affordable housing availability and preservation, expanding homeownership, supporting homeless services and prevention, addressing special needs populations, improving infrastructure and access to facilities, and fostering economic development through business retention, attraction, and job creation. The overarching goals are to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents.

This document is the State of Nevada's 2015 Annual Action Plan, serving as the first annual plan within its 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. It outlines proposed actions for the upcoming year to address housing and community development needs by allocating federal block grant funds (CDBG, HOME, ESG, HOPWA) and leveraging other resources. Key strategic priorities include increasing and preserving affordable housing, supporting homeless services and creating transitional/permanent housing, addressing special needs populations, improving infrastructure and community facilities, and fostering economic development through business retention, recruitment, and job creation for low- and moderate-income individuals.
