Family Resource Centers

The Director's Office GMU administers Family Resource Centers (FRCs), which connect vulnerable Nevadans with much-needed social services. Using Fund for a Healthy Nevada tobacco settlement dollars, FRCs help families that are low-income, transient/homeless, or otherwise impaired by their educational, economic and social situations. One FRC can exist in each of Nevada's 18 service areas, defined by residential ZIP code. FRCs collaborate with local and state agencies and organizations to help individuals and families access needed services and support.

Nevadans in need of services are encouraged to reach out to the FRC in their area. Visit this link for the current directory of FRCs in Nevada.

State Law, Policies and Procedures

FRCs are created and defined under Nevada Revised Statutes 430A, with additional guidance under Nevada Administrative Code 430A. All agencies that receive state funds to provide FRC services are required to comply with Policies and Procedures as adopted by the Director's Office GMU.
