Help us improve the region's homeless shelter and services with your public comment
Hi <<First Name>>,
Reno, Sparks and Washoe County are on the verge of a historic and monumental step to develop the Nevada Cares Campus, a new centralized service location for homeless services, transitional housing and wraparound support. The joint government operation proposes to build this campus at Fourth Street and Line Drive, near Hopes Springs Tiny House Village and Village on Sage Street apartments. On November 18, the three governments will jointly meet to approve the purchase and development of the new Nevada Cares Campus on the Governor’s Bowl park area, shown above, using CARES Act and other funding sources.
This new Nevada Cares Campus will operate in conjunction with the new Our Place shelter to provide a centralized location for housing and support services for this at risk population. This opportunity is the culmination of years of effort and collaboration from state and local government leaders, community partners, nonprofit organizations and our business community and is the most significant step forward in addressing our growing homeless problem.
WE NEED YOU TO VOICE YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS HISTORIC STEP FORWARD. Due to COVID-19, public comments can be submitted by leaving a voicemail with the City Clerk. Please call 775 393-4499 before 4 p.m. Tuesday, November 17, and leave a voicemail stating your support for the Nevada Cares Campus and appreciation for Reno, Sparks and Washoe County working together. Your message can be as simple as the following:
“THIS IS ______[insert name]___________ AND I AM CALLING IN SUPPORT OF AGENDA ITEM 11 AND THE PURCHASE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEVADA CARES CAMPUS AND USE OF CARES FUNDS TO ASSIST THIS AT RISK POPULATION. THANK YOU FOR WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS REGIONAL SOLUTION.”
Please feel free to share this email with your respective contacts in Reno.
Thank you for your support,
Downtown Reno Partnership Staff and Board
