As we practice prayer, fasting and almsgiving during Lent we highlight the work being done by Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada and the lives impacted. This week we highlight the Homeless and Housing Services. Just as Christ teaches us to love our neighbor, Catholic Charities provides shelter and support to hundreds of homeless individuals each day. In addition to sheltering 400 men each night, Catholic Charities offers The Renewing Hope Program, which provides individualized case management, life skills, and job readiness to help hundreds of men overcome their obstacles and become self-sufficient. Catholic Charities also offers the Housing Navigation Center, where case managers help divert individuals and families into housing options before they fall into the cycle of homelessness. They also operate the St. Vincent Apartments, which comprises 120 low-income housing units and access to wraparound services. One of the ways to support these programs is through making donations of men’s clothing and hygiene items, or by donating to this special collection.

Thank you for your support.
