Are you looking for help with affordable housing?

The NRV housing resource guide was created through collaboration between a dedicated and diverse group of housing partners, with the aim of providing a comprehensive list of housing services and rental options for the NRV. The guide includes two components:

•  a list of housing services including emergency shelters, energy assistance and weatherization, fair housing, home repair financing, home modifications, housing choice vouchers (rental assistance), housing counseling and education, and legal assistance.
• a listing of affordable rental housing with information including unit size, price range, estimate of tenant-paid utility cost, proximity to services, age, accessibility features, and contact information.
