Southern Nevada faces a $342 million annual shortfall to effectively tackle a homelessness crisis that regional officials continue to fear will be worsened by the coronavirus pandemic.
Clark County
The practice of descending on city halls and the county chamber in large numbers to voice opposition to issues has been put on hold during the public health crisis.
After the closure of the $8 million ISO-Q complex at Cashman Field, Clark County and the city of Las Vegas are trying new strategies to protect the homeless from COVID-19.
City and county officials in all local jurisdictions have declared states of emergency to deal with the coronavirus epidemic, which grant local governments additional powers.
The units, converted motel rooms and apartments, will be filled on a case-by-case for up to a year by clients who also receive case management and supportive services.
