Why hell, I thought they was just waiting on Elvis tickets.Las Vegas.....close to 6500, people homeless.
Quote from the Las Vegas Review Journal:
The city of Las Vegas is on the verge of launching a new initiative, modeled after the Haven for Hope in San Antonio, Texas, to connect homeless people to a range of services. The new courtyard is planned for Foremaster Lane, near a cluster of homeless shelters, in an area dubbed the “Corridor of Hope.” The initial phase, pegged for a March opening, will feature security, shade structures, a day room and portable restrooms.
The Courtyard as mentioned in the quote..vvvvvvv
This picture^^^^ is the North side of Vegas...not that far from Freemont/Downtown casinos...in the picture is a SMALL amount compared to a few square blocks in this area.
The point-in-time Southern Nevada homeless count is still significantly lower than it was earlier in the decade. In 2011, the annual count of homeless people surpassed 8,000.
Hundreds of homeless people live in Las Vegas flood channels.
