Nevada HAND is a mission-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation dedicated to the development, management, and preservation of affordable housing. Currently, Nevada HAND owns and/or manages 35 apartment communities across the Las Vegas Valley that are home to over 7,900 seniors, working adults, and children. Nevada HAND was formed in 1993 to address the lack of affordable housing in Southern Nevada. Through continuous growth, Nevada HAND has become the largest provider of its kind in the state of Nevada, currently employing over 300 individuals. Resourceful development strategies and partnerships have allowed Nevada HAND to build, manage, and preserve apartment communities with rental costs below market rate. Individuals applying to live at a Nevada HAND community must earn less than 60 percent of the area median income (AMI) to qualify. Nevada HAND is made up of distinct entities and departments, all working together to add their expertise and excellence to maximize the resident experience:
• Real Estate Development identifies available property and project opportunities, develops strategies for partnerships, and secures funding for various initiatives.
• HAND Construction Company (HCC) oversees the work of design professionals and sub-contractors to build highly functional and efficient properties.
• HAND Property Management (HPM) manages the daily operation of the independent living multi-family and senior communities, including resident screening, leasing, and property maintenance.
