NV ST Rural Housing Authority

NV ST Rural Housing Authority (doing business as Nrha) is a U.S. local government housing authority recipient of federal grant funding for homeless assistance and rural housing programs, headquartered in Carson City, Nevada. The organization does not hold federal contracts; it receives grants directly from federal agencies as a prime recipient and participates in federal programs as a sub-recipient under state pass-through grantees. Nrha operates as a public entity and does not compete under SBA set-aside categories.

Nrha's primary federal work centers on the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, which funds permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, transitional housing, supportive services, and homeless management information systems for people experiencing homelessness. The organization has received annual CoC awards from HUD for fiscal years 2022 through 2026, with award dates running January 1 each calendar year and completion dates of December 31 of the same year. HUD accounts for nine awards, representing the largest share of Nrha's recent federal footprint.

Beyond CoC work, Nrha participates in rural housing and energy-efficiency programs. The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service has issued eight awards supporting rural housing development and preservation activities in Nevada. Nrha also acts as sub-recipient under state agencies: a December 2023 sub-award from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services funds administration of the Rural Clinics Shelter Plus Care permanent supportive housing program, providing rental assistance and transitional support to rural Nevada residents; two sub-awards from the Nevada Department of Business and Industry (October 2024 and November 2023) fund weatherization assistance to twenty-five low-income households in Carson City, Western Rural Counties, North Las Vegas, and Northern Rural Clark County. A January 2025 sub-award from the Nevada Clean Energy Fund directs Nrha to hire and train a full-time employee focused on increasing low-income solar access in Nevada's rural areas, particularly in multifamily affordable housing, under the Nevada Solar for All Rural Capacity Building Program.

The source reflects nineteen prime awards (83% of total) and four sub-awards (17%). The top two customer agencies by award count—HUD and USDA Rural Housing Service—account for 91% of awards in the data. Combined dollars obligated across all twenty-three awards total $2.2 million. Activity has been intermittent over the past five years, with one award in 2022, three in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting limited near-term recompete exposure.
