BACKGROUND:
On May 5, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the submission of the FY 2020-2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), approved the associated project list, and authorized staff to submit the CDBG Pre‑Award Approval Request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The BCC subsequently approved the FY 2020-2024 CDBG CIP.
The CIP originally included an allocation of $4,242,019 to Bridge Counseling Associates, Inc. (BCA) for the two‑phase Adult Transitional Housing and Youth Residential Treatment Project. In January 2026, the Clark County Community Housing Office formally notified BCA of the decision to rescind the Phase 2 awarded funds due to issues with the project proceeding timely.
Accordingly, staff recommends reprogramming $900,000 in FY 2022-2023 CDBG funds previously allocated to BCA and amending the County's FY2022-2023 Annual Action Plan to HUD to reflect this change. This amendment ensures compliance with HUD requirements governing modifications to Annual Action Plans. If approved, the reprogrammed funds will be used for tenant improvements to the new location of the Southern Nevada Children’s Advocacy Center, located at 1401 Mineral Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89106. This will be a comprehensive, multidisciplinary one‑stop center that, once updated, will serve as the hub for Clark County’s response to child abuse, neglect, and the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC).
