  3. The Plan

The Southern Nevada Homelessness Continuum of Care Board is responsible for implementation and evaluation of the Help Hope Home plan to end homelessness. In 2007, the plan was developed using stakeholder input, to guide the work of the community in ending homelessness.

The plan has been revised to highlight our community’s progress and to include changes at the Federal level, including integration of the “Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to End Homelessness” and the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009.

Performance measures have also been included and are intended to represent tangible ways stakeholders can view progress toward ending homelessness in Southern Nevada. By focusing on managing for results, Help Hope Home can ensure accountability for completing the action steps and meeting goals.

Southern Nevada Continuum of Care
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.
