NEVADA HOMELESS ALLIANCE

What NEVADA HOMELESS ALLIANCE does

Nevada Homeless Alliance is a Las Vegas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1992 that operates as the central coordinating body for the Southern Nevada Homeless Continuum of Care (Help Hope Home), a consortium of 51 organizations focused on ending homelessness in Southern Nevada. The organization's core service is Project Homeless Connect (PHC), a mobile one-stop service fair that delivers housing assistance, medical, dental, and vision care, behavioral health, employment support, legal aid, ID recovery, hygiene, and basic care directly to people experiencing homelessness. Complementing PHC and its 8-per-month Pop-Up PHC events are a virtual self-paced training program (hosted on LearnWorlds), the Policy Council on Homelessness with a federal and Nevada legislative tracker, the Lived X Team (lived-experience consultants), and an annual Statewide Conference on Addressing Homelessness.

The organization has no proprietary technology stack to speak of beyond a standard website, newsletter, and social media presence across Facebook, X, TikTok, and Instagram. Revenue comes from individual donations, supporting memberships ($120/year or $10 monthly), corporate sponsorships (Credit One Bank, Caesars Entertainment, United Healthcare, Silversummit Healthplan, Bank of America, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, Vegas Golden Knights, Everi, Zen Business, Adobe, Molasky Foundation), and grants from federal (HUD Unsheltered NOFO), county (Clark County), and philanthropic sources (Helms Helps Foundation). Its core technology is its coordination model — convening service providers, government agencies, and lived-experience voices — rather than software.

NHA is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Sandra Shulman (President, Credit One Bank), with Robert Reynolds (VP), retired Senator David Parks (Treasurer), Pastor Henry Sneed (Honorary), and Travis Bleazard (LV Fire and Rescue) as members. Day-to-day leadership is held by Executive Director Catrina Grigsby-Thedford, MPA, LSW, CADC, PRSS-S, whose own nine years of lived homelessness experience underpins the organization's authentic and policy-grounded approach. The 15-person staff delivers programs that have collectively served 15,000+ individuals in the past 5 years across 32 PHC events.
