    Summary

    The Nevada Department of Health and Human Service (DHHS) is responsible to administer the Funds for Healthy Nevada (FHN), to supplement and not supplant existing funding. The FHN is a source of state revenue which is funded through tobacco settlement monies received or recovered by the State of Nevada. The DHHS uses the FHN funds to support health and social services activities that align with legislatively defined priority areas to address gaps identified in various needs assessments across the State of Nevada to promote public health and improve health services for children, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities. 


    This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is published by the Director's Office, Grants Management Unit (GMU) and encompasses the following programs and activities:


    Independent Living Services

    To improve access to independent living services and supports. These services are provided to all persons with disabilities so that they may have full access to community life. Core independent living services include: a) information and referral; 2) skills training; 3) peer counseling; 4) individual advocacy; and 5) transportation.


    Respite Services

    To improve access and coordination for respite services and supports. These services promote person/family centered approach in care planning and caregiver support.


    Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support Services (PBIS)

    Increase the use of the evidence-based, three-tiered framework of PBIS to improve student outcomes, improve school safety, and promote positive behavior. Projects must identify the tier(s) being used, and/or identify the community partner(s) in instances that all three tiers are not used.

    • Tier 1: Establishes a foundation of regular proactive support while preventing unwanted behaviors.
    • Tier 2: Supports skill development for those who are at-risk to develop more serious problem behaviors before those behaviors start.
    • Tier 3: Delivery of intensive, individualized support to improve behavior – formal assessments are used to determine need.

    All proposed projects must align with the following objectives:

    • Provide cost effective services that are accessible, available, and responsive to the needs of individuals, families, and their communities;
    • Foster a service delivery system responsive to the individual and cultural diversity of the people and communities we serve;
    • Provide a comprehensive and integrated system of services to promote selfsufficiency; and
    • Conduct a systematic evaluation of program activities to improve the effectiveness of the FHN funds
