Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care

Overview of the Continuum of Care

Historically, under the McKinney Vento Act the Continuum of Care (CoC) was a local network that plans and coordinates funding for services and housing to assist homeless individuals and families. With the enactment of the HEARTH Act in 2009, the CoC is now an entity that implements the HUD CoC program and includes all who choose to participate and are concerned with and/or are providing services to individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness.

The HUD CoC program is designed to:

  • Promote a community-wide commitment to the goals of ending homelessness.
  • Provide funding for efforts to rapidly re-house homeless individuals and families.
  • Promote access to and effective use of mainstream programs.
  • Optimize self sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

The SNH CoC is the official board acting on behalf of the Continuum of Care to take care of furthering the mission to end homelessness in Southern Nevada.

The Board is made up of representatives from governments, businesses, advocates, public housing agencies, school districts, social service providers, mental health agencies, hospitals, universities, affordable housing developers, law enforcement, organizations that serve homeless and formerly homeless veterans, homeless and formerly homeless persons and any other identified stakeholder that benefits the mission of ending homelessness in Southern Nevada.

CoC Membership is unlimited and the Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care (SNH CoC) Board has initiated an open invitation. Any person or agency may become a member of the SNH CoC, if there is an interest to work with or serve the homeless population. Membership forms for the CoC helps the CoC establish a comprehensive database for all future notices to meetings and information sharing. CoC Membership and Board Interest Forms for the SNH CoC Board are available at the link to the left of this page.

Help find homes for 2,022 unhoused individuals by the end of 2022.
