Clark County has implemented and currently operates eviction prevention rent assistance programs, to assist low-income people impacted by the pandemic. These programs have provided an unprecedented $21.4 in financial assistance since August 2020 and are currently serving more than 100 additional households per week by providing an average of more than $800,000 per week in financial assistance.
Referrals for 800 additional households to receive rent assistance including arrears opened on Monday, Aug. 23.
All applicants will receive a submission confirmation email. Tenants must be deemed eligible in order for assistance to be provided.

Clark County continues to work with rental assistance providers to have the capacity to open additional rent assistance spots. Additional spots are scheduled to open on the following dates:
- Monday, Sept. 13, beginning at 9 a.m.
- Monday, Sept. 27, beginning at noon
- Monday, Oct. 18, beginning at 9 a.m.
Additional information, including the number of available waitlist spots and types will be made available via news release, website and social media posting, and through the Council For The Homeless website closer to the opening dates.
It is important that landlords and tenants understand there are additional significant COVID-19 related rental assistance resources, including arrears, for low income households coming which will be made available to the community as capacity becomes available; and that based on federal and state funding requirements, any payments on behalf of tenants can only be made if the tenant remains in the unit when the payment is made.
