Henderson has added 144 income-qualified apartments near Boulder Highway, but the application details may be more useful than the headline for families looking for a home. Sunrise Ranch Family Apartments is accepting online applications for one-, two- and three-bedroom homes at 960 Broadbent Boulevard. The community combines affordable housing with resident services and dedicated pathways for young adults leaving foster care. Interested households should check eligibility, current availability and required documents before applying.
Sunrise Ranch at a glance
The apartments are built for income-qualified households
Sunrise Ranch is an affordable housing community, which means applicants must meet income rules tied to household size. Affordable does not mean every apartment has the same rent or that every applicant will qualify.
The official property page offers an online application and lists current income limits. Applicants should confirm the rent, security deposit, utility responsibilities and screening requirements for the specific floor plan they want.
The community was reported as close to fully leased around its opening. Ask whether an apartment is immediately available, whether a waitlist is open and how long an application remains active.

Several funding sources made the project possible
Sunrise Ranch was developed through a regional partnership involving the State of Nevada, Clark County, the City of Las Vegas, Henderson, and the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority. Henderson’s contribution included $4.9 million in federal HOME and HOME-ARP funds for predevelopment and construction.
The project also received 33 project-based vouchers through the regional housing authority’s project-based voucher program, according to the opening-day report. A project-based voucher stays with a qualifying apartment rather than moving with a tenant to another property.
The City of Henderson project page explains the local funding and partnership structure. These resources help reduce housing costs for qualifying residents, but they do not remove standard application and screening requirements.
Support for young adults leaving foster care
Up to 60 apartments carry a preference for young adults aging out of foster care. Clark County’s Step Up program has an on-site presence to help participating residents move toward independent living.
That support can include help with case management, financial literacy, and family-sufficiency planning. Applicants seeking this preference should use the property’s designated interest or waitlist process because a standard apartment application may not automatically place someone in the foster-youth pathway.
The city also identifies apartments for qualifying populations that may include people experiencing homelessness and people leaving domestic violence. Each pathway has its own eligibility and referral rules, so applicants should ask which process applies to their circumstances. |

Amenities and resident services
The community includes a clubhouse, computer lab, fitness center, library, playground, and covered parking. Nevada HAND also provides on-site resident services intended to help households maintain stability and connect with useful programs.
The official amenities page lists accessible features and a pet policy. Applicants with mobility needs or pets should confirm the features, restrictions, and availability connected to a particular apartment before signing a lease.
What applicants should verify
The property lists management office hours of 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Applicants planning an in-person visit should call first, confirm office access, and consider how the Boulder Highway location fits their work, school, and transportation needs.
Application and office details
Applicants interested in the foster-youth preference should use the separate interest form linked from the property website. That form identifies people seeking the specialized pathway and does not replace any later eligibility review, document request, or lease screening.
Sunrise Ranch adds completed homes and structured support to Henderson’s affordable housing supply.
For an eligible household, the most practical next step is to review the official application information and call the property before paying fees or making moving plans. |

About $51 million for 144 apartments seems like a lot. I'd be curious how much of that went toward the resident services.
Ben AlvarezI'd like to see that breakdown too. The resident services sound useful, but it's hard to tell what they cost from the total project price.
I'm glad there's a pathway for young adults leaving foster care. What kind of help will be available to them once they move in?
If Sunrise Ranch was nearly full when it opened, is the waitlist still taking names? That's the first thing I'd want to know.
The income limits depend on household size, so it's worth checking those first. I'd also ask whether the application stays active if nothing is open.
Exactly, checking the current income limits first can save applicants time. It’s also worth asking the property team whether a waitlist is open and how long an application stays active.
Broadbent near Boulder Highway could work for some households. I'd check the commute from there before choosing a floor plan.
lisa_mGood point. I'd test the drive at the time I'd actually leave for work, especially if I'm headed across town.
The three-bedroom apartments stand out to me. I hope families can see the rent and utility costs for each floor plan before starting an application.
