Watch the 'rotating' banner for interesting and informative notices. Click ANY banner for more details.

This site contains a wide range of information, from the services we offer in our role as a direct service provider, to our role as an advocate for people who are homeless, and our support of other programs in the community. You can read about the Council's Mission, Values and History, and study Clark County's 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness and related 10-Year Plan Strategies. In addition to being a ‘destination’ for information about homelessness and services available in Clark County, we also provide a ‘gateway’ to broader, more detailed information about homelessness and related issues from the best sources online.

We believe that: hardworking people should be able to afford housing, and still have enough money for groceries and other basic necessities; children deserve an opportunity to succeed in school and in life, which is tied to having a stable home; housing gives people an opportunity to build better lives; and, that it is only fair that everyone has a safe, decent place to live.

Use the navigation buttons on both the left margin and those under the masthead across the top of this and every page of the site to learn more about the Council and our programs. Find out what we can do together to build community, prevent homelessness and housing insecurity, and ensure access to services for individuals and families that need them.

We always appreciate your feedback, suggestions and comments on how to improve the quality and value of this website.
