Talking all things housing

City of Sparks, Nevada

Season 2
•
Episode 16
In this episode, we talk to City of Sparks Housing Specialist Amy Jones and Katie Coleman, Nevada Rural Housing Communications Director about all things housing. The City of Sparks has some great programs including our Housing Rehabilitation, Emergency Repair Grant, and Deferred Payment Loan programs. We also discuss utilizing Home Means Nevada funds to purchase two parcels for affordable housing. Sparks is considered rural as we have less than $150,000 residents, so Katie talks about some great programs available through Nevada Rural Housing including Down Payment Assistance, Mortgage Credit Certificate, and homebuyer education programs. So much to talk about and so much great information! Take a listen!
