HERE AT OUR LAS VEGAS LOCATION

OPENED in 2001
U.S.VETS Las Vegas operates three residential facilities and a community support office in spaces including
330 beds of transitional and permanent housing. As a lead partner of the BETterment Community, U.S.VETS Las Vegas operates a short-term, rapid rehousing project supported by Clark County. Employment services are provided through a workforce program that helps over 110 veterans return to employment each year. Additionally, over 400 veteran households are provided rapid re-housing and homeless prevention services annually.

SERVICES

HOUSING

We understand that housing is a fundamental need and a critical component of a stable and fulfilling life. That’s why we offer a range of programs to assist veterans and their families in finding housing solutions.

For veterans who need transitional housing, we offer the Transition in Place program, designed to help veterans move into permanent housing as quickly as possible. Our Supportive Housing Program (SHP) provides permanent housing opportunities for veterans who need ongoing support.

Additionally, we offer the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program, which assists low-income families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in finding safe and affordable transitional or permanent housing.

Our dedicated team is committed to helping veterans and their families achieve housing stability and independence. If you’re a veteran in need of housing assistance or know someone who is, please get in touch with us to learn more about our programs and how we can help.

BETTERMENT COMMUNITY

BETterment Community is a collaborative bridge housing, employment and training program dedicated to helping individuals transition out of homelessness and into permanent housing quickly and efficiently. Our program is designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals experiencing homelessness while also offering the resources and support they need to become self-sufficient. With a focus on rapid rehousing, we aim to help individuals secure permanent housing within 90 days or less. In addition to providing safe and stable housing, we offer comprehensive employment and training services to help individuals gain the skills they need to secure and maintain employment. Our experienced team works closely with program participants to identify job opportunities, provide training and support, and connect them with local employers. At BETterment Community, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a stable and fulfilling life. If you or someone you know is experiencing homelessness and would benefit from our program, please reach out to learn more about how we can help.

SUICIDE PREVENTION

Crisis feels different for each of us. Veterans may be coping with anger, anxiety, chronic pain, depression or lingering memories of combat, which can be exacerbated by difficulties with their relationships or transitioning back to civilian life. Feelings of hopelessness turn to thoughts of suicide. We aim to create a lifeline and connect veterans to resources that can help put them on the road to recovery. We can help determine a client’s risk for suicide and identify those who may benefit from treatment options or tools to manage crises, including coping strategies and sources of support.

PREVENTING VETERAN SUICIDE

Veterans Crisis Line logo

Suicide is a public health crisis among veterans and their families. Seventeen veterans lose their lives to suicide every day. The factors that contribute to suicide deaths are multiple and complex. Preventing these deaths requires that support systems, services and resources work together to promote wellness and help veterans successfully navigate these challenges. As a recipient of the Staff Sergeant Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant, funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S.VETS provides Las Vegas veterans and their families case management, crisis intervention and referrals to mental health-related services. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach for prevention, our goal focuses on mitigating risk and promoting resilience.
