Bill Summary · AB 366

AB 366 (BDR 25-814) — Summary (Enrolled / Chapter 421, 2025)

Status: Approved by the Governor. Chapter 421.
Introduced: Feb 3, 2025. Sponsor: Assemblymember Monroe-Moreno.

Purpose / Intent

AB 366 strengthens Nevada’s supportive housing program by (1) removing a statutory funding contingency that limited the Housing Division’s obligation to create and run a supportive housing grant program, (2) redesignating and protecting the funding vehicle that supports that program, (3) providing a one-time appropriation to launch the program, and (4) adding a transparency/oversight requirement for future executive budgets.

Key provisions

  • Amends NRS 319.600

    • Removes the phrase making the Housing Division’s duty to develop and implement the supportive housing grant program contingent “subject to the availability of funds appropriated for such a purpose.” The Division must now develop and implement the program (statutory duty independent of a prior funding condition).
    • Specifies the program must provide grants for: (a) procuring and developing supportive housing; (b) training and building capacity of supportive housing partnerships; (c) funding operations of supportive housing partnerships; and (d) analyzing program progress.
    • Requires the Division to consult with the Nevada Interagency Advisory Council on Homelessness to Housing before approving certain grant applications, adopt implementing regulations, and submit an annual report (on or before Dec. 1 in years the program is funded) to the Council chair, Governor, and LCB for transmittal to the Legislature.
    • Defines “supportive housing” and “supportive services” for program purposes.

  • Amends NRS 319.610

    • Changes the Nevada Supportive Housing Development Fund from a special revenue fund to the Nevada Supportive Housing Development Account in the State General Fund.
    • Allows the Division to accept gifts, grants, appropriations and donations into the Account.
    • Requires investments and interest treatment consistent with other state accounts.
    • Ensures money in the Account is used to carry out NRS 319.600 and explicitly does not revert to the State General Fund at fiscal year-end (balances carry forward).

  • Appropriation

    • Appropriates $21,000,000 from the State General Fund to the newly designated Nevada Supportive Housing Development Account to carry out the supportive housing grant program.

  • Executive budget reporting requirement (new)

    • Beginning with the 2027–2029 executive budget, if the Governor does not include any budget request for the Account to carry out the program, the Governor must submit, with the proposed executive budget, a written statement explaining why no request was included (transmitted for legislative review).

  • Administrative / other provisions

    • State Controller is authorized to transfer funds as needed to implement designation changes; existing rights/liabilities of redesignated funds persist.
    • Effective upon passage and approval.

Who is affected

  • Nevada Department of Business & Industry — Housing Division (program lead and grant administrator).
  • Supportive housing providers, developers, and partnerships seeking operating or capital grants.
  • Individuals experiencing homelessness or at-risk populations eligible for supportive housing (including those with disabling behavioral/physical health conditions).
  • Nevada Interagency Advisory Council on Homelessness to Housing (consultation role).
  • Legislature and Governor (new reporting requirement in future budget cycles).

Fiscal / procedural notes

  • The bill contains a direct appropriation ($21M) to seed the Account and program (noted as an appropriation not included in the executive budget).
  • By converting the fund to an account that does not revert at year-end, the measure preserves funding continuity for multi-year supportive housing projects.
  • The statutory duty to develop and operate the grant program is no longer explicitly conditioned on prior appropriations, increasing the Division’s responsibility to administer the program when funds are available.

Support / context

  • The bill drew support from housing and service organizations (e.g., Nevada Housing Coalition, developers such as Dominium) emphasizing supportive housing as an evidence-based intervention to reduce homelessness and public costs.
