Carson City, NV -

NVHousingSearch.org
has reached a major milestone of 30,000 listed housing units. The one-stop
resource for statewide rental housing listings and information was launched in
the fall of 2014 and has quickly become a go-to resource for both affordable
and market-rate rental listings.
The
web-based service, a partnership between the Nevada Housing Division and
Socialserve.com, offers completely free listing and search capabilities.
The
service generates approximately one thousand searches every week. Visitors are
presented with quick links to rental listings based on individual criteria.
Special
features include links to housing-related resources as well as
rent-affordability and moving-cost calculators.
In
addition to the website, a bilingual English, Spanish toll-free call center is
available weekdays from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. The call center offers free support for
those who cannot access the internet or simply prefer live, human support.
This
project is one of Nevada Housing Division’s myriad programs to collaborate with
other social service agencies to meet the Division’s goals and mandates related
to affordable and accessible housing.
CJ Manthe,
Administrator, Nevada Housing Division, stated, “
We are so pleased with the progress we’ve made in building the housing
locator for Nevadans and reaching the goal of 30,000 units ahead of schedule.
We are continuing to build our listings, including new tax credit properties,
so we encourage everyone to keep coming back to check out new listings.”
