Clark County's pandemic-era rent programs, known as CHAP, have stopped taking applications. What remains is smaller. The county's Social Service office still lists housing help of up to $400 a month for one person, and that may be the $400 rent voucher people search for. We found no program with that exact name.
Call 211 to ask what is open near you.
Last checked: November 4, 2026. Benefits Explorer is a private directory, not a government agency. We do not take applications, provide rent money or decide eligibility. Each program makes its own decisions.
We could not confirm that the City of Las Vegas RAFT program is running. The city's housing assistance page did not open, so ask 211 before you rely on it.
