How to apply for Rental and Utility Assistance (Clark County Social Service) — Clark in Nevada

Who it's for

Clark County Social Service helps eligible low-income households pay rent, mortgage, and utility bills. The help comes as a check made out to you or to your landlord, mortgage company, or utility. A household of one can get up to $400 a month, plus $135 a month for each added household member. Most households can get help once every 12 months, but people with a disability (as defined by Social Security) can get help more often. Renters who are behind on rent and have someone in the home on a fixed income, like Social Security, a pension, or VA or disability benefits, may also qualify for the Fixed Income Rental Assistance Program, which can pay up to 12 months of rent. Call 702-455-4270, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
