The five-year (2022–2024) CCUSA Healthy Housing Initiative coordinates permanent housing placement, case management and social services of Catholic Charities agencies with primary care and behavioral health services of Catholic health systems to reduce chronic homelessness.
Since 1941, Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada (CCSN) has been a source of community support for the region’s most vulnerable community members. CCSN provides food, shelter and comprehensive services, recognizing that each person is created in the image and likeness of God and that God’s compassion transforms lives.
CCSN operates 16 programs, providing support to more than 4,500 people daily. It runs the largest Meals on Wheels program and emergency shelter services in Southern Nevada. Programs include a homeless shelter, food pantry, immigration services and more.
The Healthy Housing Initiative has been a solid fit for CCSN, complementing its services and collaborative approach to meeting the needs of those most vulnerable in Southern Nevada.
