County to accept rent aid requests this week

Clark County will accept applications for 400 households to receive rental assistance, including for rents in arrears, beginning at noon Wednesday.

Links and instructions to apply follow. The links will not be live until noon Wednesday. Once all available referrals have been received, the links will no longer work.

Households may only receive assistance one time. Households that have received assistance within the past few months are not eligible for additional assistance.

All applicants will receive a submission confirmation email. Anyone who has previously applied for assistance is asked not to apply again as this delays the processing of applications. Housing providers are working to assist all households that are on the wait list. Tenants must be deemed eligible to receive assistance.
