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.
Our Approach
The Nevada Homeless Alliance pursues collaborative strategies to end homelessness in Southern Nevada through advocacy, public awareness, education, and coordination of services.
This requires a multidimensional approach among government agencies, community organizations, the private sector, and homeless people themselves. The Nevada Homeless Alliance works to create and strengthen these relationships to facilitate an effective and comprehensive systems response to homelessness.
Partnering to Improve Outcomes for People Experiencing Homelessness
Our work is predicated on partnerships with service providers assisting people who are homeless with housing, healthcare, mental health, education, legal aid, courts, employment services, child and family services, law enforcement, and more. This includes partnering with the federal, state, and local government, business, philanthropic, civic, and faith-based organizations, and 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 launched a series of trainings on best practices in service interventions for providers and members of the community.
In 2022, the Nevada Homeless Alliance was awarded a grant from Clark County to expand our training and help teach more people about the best practices.

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 Services
The Nevada Homeless Alliance leads the coordination of Connect events. These events assist individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or are low-income by providing immediate access to a full array of services in one place.
Services offered at Project Homeless Connect (PHC) and Family Connect events include 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 32 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 outreach event that convenes partner organizations to offer showers, housing assistance, ID recovery, medical and mental health support, legal aid, clothing, and more.
In 2022, the monthly Pop-Up PHC events was expanded into 2-4 events per month. This allowed us to provide services to more people and to meet the clients where they are.
In 2023, the Pop-Up PHC events have been expanded even further to 8 events every month. This was made possible by the HUD Unsheltered NOFO. With this change, our Fall PHC event will be held every two years effective 2023. Our next Fall Project Homeless Connect (PHC) event will be held in 2025.
The Nevada Homeless Alliance helps champion the Built for Zero campaign, a cross-sector initiative designing and implementing strategies toward Southern Nevada’s goal to end chronic homelessness.
Annual Report
Every year, Nevada Homeless Alliance releases an annual report to show our stakeholders the effect we had in the community. 2022 marks the 30th year of Nevada Homeless Alliance being in operation and thus this year is a special edition of our annual report.
