Help Hope Home is Southern Nevada’s
coordinated regional approach to assist individuals and
families achieve stable and sustainable lives.
A message from Barbara Geach,
SNRPC’s Committee on Homelessness, Chair
HELP HOPE HOME assists, gives hope and shelter for those who do not have or are at-risk of losing permanent housing. This is a regional approach to a regional issue
that requires the collaboration of the entire community including the goodwill of our citizens, government,
non-profit organizations, faith houses and businesses alike.
No one really expects or desires to become homeless. Often homelessness can be situational. In our current economic time, Southern Nevada has seen some of the highest levels of home foreclosures and unemployment in our nation. Homelessness does not discriminate. It can happen to individuals, youth, elderly, the infirmed, families and even you. Our goal is to assist with the basic needs such as food, housing, mental health services, employment training opportunities and support services in order to help individuals and families get back on their feet to achieve stable and sustainable lives.
We cannot do this alone. We need everyone's help. We invite individuals, corporations, businesses and foundations to donate to the Southern Nevada Homeless Trust Fund and invest in our community's future and quality of life. Join Clark County and the cities of Boulder, Henderson, Las Vegas and North Las Vegas in an effort to end homelessness and to lend a helping hand to our community's individuals and families in need. Homelessness is not just an individual or family problem, it's a community problem that requires a community solution.
2011 Southern Nevada Homeless Census:
Click here to view the
comprehensive report.
During the period of January 26-27, 2011, Southern Nevada Regional
Planning Coalition conducted the 2011 Southern Nevada Homeless Census.
In attempt to end homelessness, the U.S. Congress has required that
governments receiving federal funds under the McKinney-Vento Homeless
Assistance Act must conduct regular counts of their homeless population.
The region has pursued implementation of the homeless census and survey
for this reason, to obtain more accurate and useful data.
It is the intention that the results of this research will assist
service providers, policy makers, funding sources, and local, state and
federal governments to better understand and plan for the needs of the
homeless population by examining current statistics in various
geographical contexts. The information for the 2011 Southern Nevada
Homeless Census and Survey will hopefully help policy makers and service
providers more effectively develop services and programs to serve the
County's homeless population, especially in comparison to census
information collected in 2007 and 2009.
