Common Questions
How can I get assistance to purchase a home?
Neighborhood Services administers a program to assist with down payment
and closing costs for qualifying applicants when purchasing a home in
Henderson. You must have lived or worked in the City of Henderson for one
year prior to applying, and you need $1,500 saved to start. Eligibility is
based on your income. Call (702) 267-2000 or (702) 267-2010 for more information go to
First Time Homebuyer program.
How can I get home repairs made to my residence?
If you meet eligibility guidelines, Neighborhood Services facilitates both
deferred and low-interest loans. Deferred loans have no payments and no
interest. The deferred loan amount is repaid when you sell the home or no longer
live in it. Low-interest loans from the City are used to "buy down" a bank's
interest rate to three percent. The City also has repair grants. Based upon
income eligibility guidelines, you may qualify for a grant of up to $2,500
which does not have to be repaid. Please call (702) 267-2000 or (702) 267-2010 for more information.
