HQS Housing Quality Standards
The housing unit selected by the family must meet an acceptable level of health and safety before the SNRHA
can approve the unit. When the voucher holder finds a unit that they wish to occupy and reaches an agreement
with the landlord over the lease terms, the SNRHA must inspect the dwelling and determine that the rent
requested is reasonable. SNRHA will inspect the subsidized unit annually to determine that it meets
HQS.
Find out the date and timeframe of the next inspection by calling (702) 477-3100. Please be ready to
provide your social security number or your SNRHA tenant code to expedite your inquiry.
