We will end homelessness
in Southern Nevada
We bring people together to advance solutions to homelessness. We do this by partnering closely with federal, state, and local government, business, philanthropic, civic, faith-based organizations, and people who are currently experiencing homelessness and those who have in the past.
We Advocate.
We focus on advancing policy solutions at the local, state and federal level. Join us to take action by signing up for advocacy alerts.
We Educate.
When we know better, we do better. -Maya Angelou
The Nevada Homeless Alliance is proud to present our virtual self-paced training program. We are currently updating our training. Please be advised that the previous training topics on evidenced based practices to homeless service providers are no longer available as of 11/19/24.
We Coordinate.
Collaboration is key in the fight to end homelessness. There is not a single organization or sector that can accomplish this task alone. We hold regular provider meetings, networking events, roundtables and working groups to build and strengthen partnerships. Join the Alliance to connect with us!
We Serve.
We organize Project Homeless Connect, a mobile one-stop service fair, to connect people experiencing homelessness to the local service organizations who provide housing, healthcare, employment support, legal aid, and basic care services. Find more information about Project Homeless Connect here.

About Us
Partnering to Improve Outcomes
Our work is predicated on partnerships with:
- Service providers aiding people who are homeless in the fields of housing, healthcare, mental health, education, legal aid, employment services, child and family services, law enforcement, and more.
- The federal, state, and local governments.
- Business, philanthropic, civic, and faith-based organizations.
- People who are currently experiencing homelessness and those who have in the past.
Policy Advocacy
The Nevada Homeless Alliance provides a voice at the federal, state, and local levels on policies that can be supported, amended, or otherwise enhanced to create effective solutions to issues related to homelessness and its end in Southern Nevada.
Promoting Best Practices
Our goal is to identify innovative and effective strategies to combat homelessness through our initiatives and national partnerships. This knowledge is shared with partners of the Nevada Homeless Alliance, informing our policy work and the recommendations we make. In 2018, the Nevada Homeless Alliance will launch a series of trainings for providers and members on best practices in service interventions.
Public Education
The Nevada Homeless Alliance disseminates information to support and advance the movement to end homelessness. Our public education efforts raise awareness, build partnerships, mobilize advocates, and generate support for people experiencing homelessness. We engage and educate partners, members, policymakers, and the public through public events, various publications, and social media.
Coordination of Collaborative Outreach Events
The Nevada Homeless Alliance leads the coordination of Connect events. These events assist individuals and families who are experiencing homeless or are low-income by providing immediate access to a full array of services in one place. Project Homeless Connect (PHC) and Family Connect offer services including housing, medical, dental, and vision care, behavioral health care, job readiness, family resources, food resources, legal and court assistance, general community assistance, pet care, and more. The Nevada Homeless Alliance has convened community partners in the planning and execution of 25 PHC events. Over the last five years alone, these events have assisted over 15,000 individuals experiencing homelessness in accessing vital resources and services. In 2017, PHC expanded from two annual events to monthly Pop-Up PHC events, a mini-but-mighty mobile outreach that convenes partner organizations to offer showers, housing assistance, ID recovery, medical and mental health support, legal aid, clothing, and more.
