If you are homeless and living in Carson City, you have a new opportunity for safe and stable housing. Richards Crossing is accepting applications for its Project-Based Voucher (PBV) wait list until March 28. This program is specially designed to help people who are currently homeless. To be eligible, you must be homeless at the time you fill out and submit your application. This could be an important first step toward getting your own place to live and starting fresh.
What Richards Crossing Offers
Richards Crossing is more than just an apartment complex — it’s a community focused on helping people transition from homelessness to a stable life. The housing offers one-bedroom apartments that come with rental assistance through the Section 8 PBV program. This means you only pay about 30% of your income for rent, making it much more affordable than regular apartments. This setup is designed to take the pressure off, allowing you to focus on building a better future.
Special Help for Homeless Veterans
Richards Crossing also sets aside special support for veterans who have been homeless for a long time. Eight apartments are reserved just for chronically homeless veterans. In addition to the regular rental help, the U.S. Veterans Administration steps in to provide extra rental assistance for these units. This extra support helps veterans get back on their feet while living in a stable and supportive environment that understands their unique needs.

Living at Richards Crossing means you have access to much more than just a place to sleep. The community offers a wide range of services and amenities, including:
