City of Reno issued the following announcement on June 4.
Regional partners, the City of Reno, City of Sparks, and Washoe County, are releasing the following statement regarding our unsheltered population and associated services.
The Nevada Cares Campus (NCC) is the region’s new shelter. It provides case management services and opportunities to sleep, eat, rest, and shower for men, women, and couples. It also provides space for pets. Since opening on May 17, 2021, the daily number of individuals served has increased to 531. All who seek shelter at NCC are allowed to stay. It is a “low barrier” shelter. No one is turned away.
The regional partners are committed to:
- ensuring the well-being of all citizens in the region;
- public safety;
- accessible public spaces;
- mitigating public hazards; and
- maintaining the Truckee River’s health.
This is just the beginning of a long-term strategy rooted in permanent solutions, aligned with the region’s Built for Zero initiative. This region is full of kind, caring, and helpful people and organizations. We encourage your continued legal efforts to assist our unsheltered populations.
