Help Hope Home is Southern Nevada’s
coordinated regional approach to assist individuals and
families achieve stable and sustainable lives.
A message from Tim Burch,
SNRPC’s Committee on Homelessness, Chair
Help Hope Home is a coordinated regional approach to address and prevent homelessness in Southern Nevada.
This approach coordinates the efforts of the public, non-profit and private sectors to provide outreach,
housing, food, mental health services, employment training, case management and support services to enable
homeless families and individuals to become self-sufficient. Help Hope Home focuses on outcomes and
accountability and decreases the cost of homelessness while helping families and individuals achieve
stable and sustainable lives.
Homelessness affects everyone in our community, and the Help Hope Home Southern Nevada Plan to End Homelessness
provides an opportunity for everyone in our community to play a role in ending homelessness. Through this plan,
government agencies, non-profit organizations and faith houses are partnering and coordinating services to help
homeless citizens and to prevent struggling families and individuals from becoming homeless.
We are asking corporations, businesses and community members to join in the effort to end homelessness in Southern Nevada.
Through contributions to the Southern Nevada Homeless Trust Fund, corporate and individual volunteerism and the donation of
professional services, businesses and community members can invest in the future of our community and the quality of life for all our residents.
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.
