Mission & Vision

Nevada H.A.N.D., Inc improves the lives of low-income individuals by providing affordable housing solutions and supportive services.

To accomplish this mission, Nevada H.A.N.D., Inc. intends to construct, purchase, sell, renovate, manage, and otherwise operate low and moderate-income housing projects in Nevada; to encourage, assist, and facilitate economic development through job training of eligible participants in the course of developing affordable housing; to coordinate or assist, upon request, affordable housing projects involving other community based organizations.

Nevada H.A.N.D., Inc. is a local non-profit organization that develops affordable housing in the metropolitan Las Vegas area. Since our inception in 1993, we have been very successful in providing safe, decent, energy-efficient affordable housing to Nevada’s low-income seniors and families. We strongly believe however, that providing the “bricks and mortar” that house our residents is only part of our mission. To further our efforts we have created our Resident Service Department to provide opportunities for financial empowerment and enhanced quality of life for our residents.

Nevada HAND Resident Services Department was created in 1999, to enhance the quality of life of our residents. The mission of Resident Services is to educate our residents about existing social services and activities and to coordinate their use. Rather than trying to duplicate existing programs, we help social service agencies and nonprofits provide their services to our residents.
Since our residents have already undergone careful income qualification, we can immediately determine their eligibility for various programs, saving valuable administrative time for the providers. We will also be helping providers with marketing and outreach by providing more efficient delivery of services to relatively large groups of low-income residents in our affordable housing communities.

The goals of our Resident Service Department are:
  • To empower our multifamily adult residents to improve their financial condition and help them achieve homeownership;
  • To enhance the health and welfare of our resident children by providing educational assistance, computer training, nutrition programs, social and physical activities;
  • To empower our senior residents to live independently longer, allowing them to age in place for as long as possible.
