Nevada Senate approves $21 million for eviction-diversion programs in Clark County and Reno

The Nevada Senate approved Assembly Bill 4 75 on a 19–1 vote, authorizing a $21,000,000 state general fund appropriation over the 2025–27 biennium for eviction-diversion programs in Clark County, the city of Reno and the Nevada Rural Housing Authority.

The bill matters because it directs a sizable state appropriation toward local eviction-prevention efforts in Nevada’s largest population centers, funding programs intended to help renters avoid homelessness and reduce eviction filings.

Senator Pete Stone presented the measure to the Senate and described the appropriation on the floor. "Assembly bill 4 75 is amended. Makes a general fund appropriation of 21,000,000 over the 20 25, 20 27 biennium to Clark County, the city of Reno, and the Nevada Rural Housing Authority for eviction diversion programs as act becomes effective on passage and approval," Stone said.

After Stone’s remarks the chamber opened and closed the roll for a final vote; the result was recorded as 19 yeses and one no. The clerk announced, "A B 4 7 5 has received the constitutional majority, is declared passed, and ordered to the assembly." The measure will next go to the Assembly for consideration.

The bill text and the senator’s remarks indicate the appropriation is from the state general fund and that the act becomes effective upon passage and approval. The transcript does not specify program-level distribution details, eligibility criteria, or reporting requirements; those details will appear in the bill language and implementing guidance from the recipient jurisdictions and agencies.

Lawmakers did not debate programmatic specifics on the floor beyond the appropriation amount and recipients. No additional amendments or conditions were recorded during the Senate vote.
