NRHA was originally created as a state agency in 1973 and operated under the Department of Business and Industry as a Public Housing Authority. In 1995, NRHA was separated from State government by new legislation and became a local-governmental unit with its own five-member governing board appointed by the Nevada League of Cities and Nevada Association of Counties. In 2005, legislation AB372 clarified our jurisdiction and programs and established that our organization is not subject to the state budgetary process, enabling us to be more diverse and innovative in our services. Working with a consortium of public, private, and community partners, NRHA provides affordable housing and economic development solutions for rural Nevada. We believe that, when more Nevadans are able to purchase a home of their own or can find affordable rental units, we all benefit through stronger, more stable and economically vital communities. We believe that housing, especially affordable housing, is an integral piece of every community. While our mission focuses on affordable housing opportunities, we can use our knowledge, experience and resources to help rural cities and counties address a broader scope of development challenges within their communities.

The Nevada Rural Housing Authority’s mission is to promote, provide, and finance affordable housing opportunities for all rural Nevadans.

NRHA is a strong organization that is:

- supportive of its employees to help them feel successful in their personal and professional lives.

- fiscally sound with appropriate financial reserves.

- innovative in providing housing solutions for Nevada.

- respected for its ability and expertise in housing.

- effective and efficient at providing housing services to every rural community and to all rural Nevadans who are under-housed.
