Restoring Dignity Through Housing, Healing, and Hope

Homelessness in Southern Nevada is a persistent and complex crisis, driven by poverty, unemployment, mental illness, substance use, domestic violence, and a severe lack of affordable housing. In 2020, over 5,500 individuals were unhoused on a single night—most unsheltered, many experiencing chronic homelessness. The COVID-19 pandemic further deepened the crisis, increasing health risks and disrupting essential services.

At UNIFIED, we believe that housing is not just a basic need—it’s a human right and a foundation for transformation. Our Equity-Centered Action for Shelter & Support (ECASS) program builds on the Housing First model, expanding it with holistic, dignity-driven supports that promote long-term stability, resilience, and community integration.
