An August 5th date has been set for a ribbon cutting ceremony for the permanent supportive housing section of the Nevada Cares Campus, over four years after the shelter first opened with emergency COVID funding.
Funding for the 50 units of supportive housing for the chronically unhoused who have medical, mental health and/or substance abuse concerns came from Nevada’s Home Means Nevada Initiative and the Supportive Housing Development Fund program.
In the past year, numbers for monthly exits from the Cares Campus into permanent housing outside the compound have ranged from 38 last August to a low of 17 in February. Last month, it was at 19.
Cares Campus "unique clients" have been going down in recent months, from 1,323 last June to 797 this June.
