Our Timeline.
1992
North Las Vegas Housing Services Inc. was created through an initiative by the City of North Las Vegas local residents and Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation that is now known as NeighborWorks America.
2000
We formally changed our name to Neighborhood Housing Services of Southern Nevada, Inc (NHSSN) and expanded our services to all Southern Nevada residents.
2007
NHSSN merged with Golden Rule; the first nonprofit to offer transitional housing in Southern Nevada. Through the merger NHSSN acquired Parsons Place, now known as The Betty-Jeanne, with 59 micro-units located in Downtown Las Vegas. NHSSN also acquired 820 Eastern Avenue which is the future home to 120 units of senior affordable housing.
2008 - CURRENT
When the housing crisis hit Southern Nevada, NHSSN began offering foreclosure prevention counseling, helping more than 1,400 households. At the same time, we administered down payment assistance using HOME and NSP Funds which allowed families to purchase in North Las Vegas, Clark County, and the City of Las Vegas.
2012 - 2015
Through collaboration, Wells Fargo and NeighborWorks helped NHSSN provide over $6.4 million in LIFT down payment assistance creating more than 500 new homeowners.
By partnering with the City of North Las Vegas we were able to rehabilitate two of our North Las Vegas properties and ‘green’ the properties by adding energy efficient elements.
2015 - 2018
We provide dumpsters for residents to dispose of large unwanted items, helping to clean up and beautify the community.
We are driven by passion, We Real Estate with Purpose and Passion and WE GET to make a difference Block by Block.
