About Us

The Nevada Housing Division (NHD), a division of the Department for Business and Industry, was created by the Nevada Legislature in 1975 when it was recognized a shortage of safe decent, and sanitary housing existed throughout the State for persons and families of low- and moderate income. NHD offers a housing locator in response to Nevada Statute, NRS 319.143, which requires the Division create and maintain a state-wide low income housing database. The service was launched in September of 2014 and there are over 44,000 rental units listed.

NVHousingSearch.org is sponsored by the Nevada Housing Division with support of an advisory committee. This group is made up of representatives from Nevada jurisdictions, human service agencies and housing providers who help oversee services and outreach for NVHousingSearch.org.

NVHousingSearch.org is powered and maintained by Emphasys Software and fully supported by the toll-free, MyHousingSearch.com call center. Online services are always available, 24/7. The call center provides live help (English and Spanish, voice and TTY) Monday - Friday, 6:00 am - 5:00 pm PDT. In addition to searchable, real-time, detailed listings of available housing, NVHousingSearch.org offers helpful tools, such as a rent checklist, an affordability calculator, and links to related resources.
