City Of North Las Vegas

City Of North Las Vegas, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in North Las Vegas, Nevada, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants across community development, public safety, environmental remediation, and parks infrastructure. The municipality does not hold federal contracts but receives federal funding through direct grants and cooperative agreements from multiple agencies, with 77% of recent awards as prime recipient and 23% as sub-recipient under pass-through state and local grantees.

The city's grant portfolio spans concrete infrastructure and social-service work. Representative recent awards include a $21.2 million Cooperative Agreement from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management Nevada Region under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (CFDA 15.235) to enhance Craig Ranch Regional Park through playground replacement, security systems, fitness courts, and lighting (ultimate completion February 2031); a $2.5 million Cooperative Agreement from EPA Region 9 (CFDA 66.818) to rehabilitate the Robinson Well groundwater facility with NSF-61 certified casings, pumps, disinfection systems, and new buildings to reduce drought burden on surface water (ultimate completion March 2028); a $1.62 million Project Grant from the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Congressionally Recommended Awards program (CFDA 16.753) to equip the North Las Vegas Police Department's digital forensics lab, SWAT team, traffic division, and community outreach with technology and equipment upgrades (ultimate completion September 2026); and recurring Emergency Solutions Grants (CFDA 14.231) and Community Development Block Grants (CFDA 14.218) from HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development totaling multiple allocations for homelessness response infrastructure and community development activities.

The city concentrates its funding across five lead agencies. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development carries 27 awards, the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance holds 17 awards, and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (including its Nevada Region office) accounts for 26 combined awards. These three agencies cover 75% of recent award volume. By dollar value, the $1.5 million combined potential value is concentrated across the same customer set, with HUD, DOJ, and DOI anchoring the active pipeline.

Activity declined sharply from 2023 (20 awards) through 2026 (2 awards as of February). Nine awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across the parks, public safety, and community development portfolios. The city acts as sub-recipient under the Nevada Department of Public Safety, Nevada Department of Transportation, and Nevada Office of Emergency Management on multiple pass-through allocations for traffic enforcement, DUI enforcement, substance abuse treatment, and emergency management operations.

The municipality's federal work centers on parks and trail construction (4.5-mile Beltway Trail extension, STEM youth park development, Kiel Ranch Historic Park Family Mesa project), homelessness and housing response (street outreach, emergency shelter, rapid re-housing, Continuum of Care program administration), public safety and law enforcement equipment and training (police radios, crisis response units, de-escalation training capacity building across 76 southern Nevada agencies), environmental remediation (brownfields assessment under EPA cooperative agreements), water infrastructure (groundwater well rehabilitation), and criminal justice reform (drug courts, veterans treatment courts, mental health collaboration programs serving individuals with substance use disorders and co-occurring disorders). The city partners with nonprofits including Nevada Partners Inc. for homeless prevention services and Seven Hills Hospital for mental health court operations.
