| "In
Las Vegas, people genuinely believe that anything is possible. This self confidence is rooted in people's individual experience and
the collective story they tell. There is an unswerving sense of possibility upon which to create the future. As one person told us
'This is a community that does not know the words: It cannot be done'." |

A Comprehensive
Approach
Help Hope Home is Southern Nevada’s coordinated regional
approach to assist individuals and families achieve stable and
sustainable lives. This effort offers solutions that focus on
responsibility, self-sufficiency and accountability.
A Focus on Fiscal Responsibility
Southern Nevada is spending $25 million annually on shelter
and health services for the homeless without creating long-term
solutions. Help Hope Home provides a coordinated, efficient
and long-term response that is fiscally responsible.
Personal Responsibility
This effort is focused on a balanced approach. The provision of housing, treatment services
and job training with expectations of personal responsibility
and self-reliance from those who receive the services. Opportunities are
created so that people can re-establish control of their lives.
A Regional Response is Mandated
Southern Nevada is over 8,000 square miles and includes the
cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City,
Mesquite and the town of Laughlin. There are over 14,000 homeless
people in the valley and 50% are women and children. The entire
effort must be addressed by the entire community.
