The process for developing a true comprehensive solution to homelessness in Nevada has been a long time in coming. It began in 2023, when the legislature passed a bill (AB528) to address the issue and continued up to last January when non-profit Campus for Hope applied and was selected via an open process.
Throughout the application, approval, and implementation of the project enabled under the legislation, Campus for Hope leadership has met all the state and local requirements for the construction of the facility. We will continue to meet all those requirements, without exception.
Campus for Hope is a partner to the community in which it is being constructed. We have held meetings, met with local businesses and nonprofits, and will continue to do so.
Similar services have been offered on this very site since the 1960s, but those services have not been comprehensive solutions, and we all know the result. Campus for Hope knows creating a comprehensive solution to homelessness is hard. We also know it is no longer optional. All of us see the problem on our streets and in our neighborhoods every single day. The unhoused in our community deserve and need us all to do better and we are here to make it, finally and comprehensively, happen.
