Help Put Hope on the Road: Every Mile Brings Someone Closer to Home

This Give More 24!, Council for the Homeless is raising $45,000 to purchase a dedicated outreach vehicle that will help our team reach more people, remove barriers to housing, and provide safer, more effective outreach throughout Clark County.

Every day, our outreach staff meet people where they are: building trust, connecting them with resources, and helping them take the next steps toward stable housing.

But getting housed often means getting to appointments.

A replacement Social Security card. A state ID. A housing assessment. Medical care. Benefit appointments. A new job interview. An apartment tour. Missing even one appointment can delay someone's path to housing by weeks, or even months.

A dedicated outreach vehicle will allow our team to:

- Transport clients to critical appointments that help move them toward housing

- Deliver supplies directly to people living unsheltered

- Expand outreach across Clark County

- Increase staff safety while working in the community

- Provide a visible, welcoming presence where help is needed most

 Why This Matters

For women experiencing homelessness, finding safety can be especially difficult. Clark County has just 18 year-round emergency shelter beds dedicated to single women, with a limited number of additional shelter beds available based on eligibility and capacity. Even so, demand often exceeds available space, making every step toward permanent housing even more urgent.

A Message from Nathalie, Outreach Manager

"Hope on the Road reflects what this van will make possible. With a reliable outreach vehicle, we can meet people where they are and bring person‑centered support directly into communities across Clark County. It allows us to respond during severe weather, provide essential transportation, and deliver resources quickly and safely.

This van helps us show up with hope, exactly when and where our neighbors need it most."

 Help Us Reach Our Goal

Our goal is to raise $45,000 to purchase and equip an outreach vehicle. Any funds raised beyond that amount will help cover registration, insurance, maintenance, fuel, and other costs that will keep the vehicle serving our community for years to come.

Every mile can bring someone closer to home. Join us. Help put hope on the road.
