Shelter is a basic human need – essential for accomplishing almost everything we need and want to do. From getting a job and raising a family to cooking dinner and celebrating a birthday. Yet for many rural Nevadans safe, affordable shelter is out of reach. In 1973, the Nevada Rural Housing Authority (NRHA) was created to address this need. NRHA was originally created as a state agency in 1973 and operated under the Department of Business and Industry as a Public Housing Authority. In 1995, NRHA was separated from State government by new legislation and became a quasi-governmental unit with its own five-member governing board appointed by the Nevada League of Cities and Nevada Association of Counties. In 2005, legislation AB372 clarified our jurisdiction and programs and established that our organization is not subject to the state budgetary process enabling us to be more diverse and innovative in our services. Working with a consortium of public, private, and social partners, NRHA provides affordable housing and economic development solutions for rural Nevada. We believe when more Nevadans are able to purchase a home of their own or can find affordable rental units, we all benefit through stronger more stable and economically vital communities. In 2006, NRHA launched the Home At Last™ home financing program to expand homeownership opportunities in the rural parts of the state. In 2009 NRHA launched our real estate division and become more active in helping rural cities and counties address a broader scope of economic development challenges.
Since 2001, the Office of Indigent Defense Services (“IDS”) has overseen legal representation for indigent defendants and others entitled to counsel in North Carolina. Created by an act of the N.C. General Assembly, the organization works daily to make real the Constitution`s right to counsel for those charged with crimes or who face significant deprivations to their liberty. IDS trains, qualifies, and sets performance standards for attorneys, as well as determines the most appropriate and cost-effective methods for delivering legal defense services in each of the state`s judicial districts. It is committed to recruiting North Carolina`s most talented attorneys to represent indigent defendants and to providing those attorneys with the resources they need to be effective. IDS works diligently to anticipate and resolve systemic issues that impact defenders and their clients. For two decades, it has distinguished itself nationally as a leader in the development of innovative, high quality, cost-effective, and accountable indigent defense programs. Many states, including Georgia, Texas and Virginia, have looked to IDS`s example and establishing act for guidance in improving their own defense systems. The organization`s programmatic work includes efforts to increase communication and resource-sharing with the private bar; the development of legal training programs, often in partnership with the UNC School of Government; the establishment of a specialized Office of the Juvenile Defender; and the creation of performance guidelines for appointed counsel across a number of practice areas. IDS also works regularly with the Offices of the Capital Defender and Appellate Defender to recruit and evaluate attorneys for their respective rosters, ensure their appointments in a timely and equitable manner, and to support them with expert services. IDS and its staff are committed to the continued delivery of quality legal services to indigent persons throughout North Carolina.
