On November 17, Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY) and Sands will co-present the 2022 Southern Nevada Youth Homelessness Summit at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas. Now in its sixth year, a key focal point of Summit 2022 will be the launch of the Movement Institute – a hands-on advocacy training to galvanize community members in the fight to end youth homelessness.

Sands and NPHY have co-presented the annual Summit since 2017 to drive innovative and collaborative strategies and solutions to address the high rate of youth homelessness in the Las Vegas Valley. The 2022 Southern Nevada Youth Homelessness Summit will build on tracks laid in 2021, when the community examined the evolving post-pandemic environment and the exacerbated challenges vulnerable youth face.

The 2022 Southern Nevada Youth Homelessness Summit will further build on these discussions by tapping community leaders, youth with lived experience of homelessness, and experts and thought leaders in homelessness and urban issues to further outline and address the complex challenges vulnerable youth face resulting from today’s rapidly changing employment landscape, a scarcity of affordable housing, heightened mental health needs and breakdowns in support networks. Summit 2022 will also feature the unveiling of the first-ever standalone Southern Nevada Youth Homelessness Needs Assessment, an update to the Southern Nevada Plan to End Youth Homelessness’ needs assessment created by a team of national experts and local cross-sector stakeholders throughout 2022. Amid this backdrop, Summit 2022 will launch The Movement Institute – an innovative, inspiring and hands-on advocacy training to empower community members to “Be the Movement to End Youth Homelessness.” The institute has been designed to educate community members – both those involved in The Movement and newcomers who want to champion positive change for vulnerable youth.

The Summit is a key part of Sands’ long-term commitment to ending youth homelessness in Southern Nevada and one facet of the partnership between NPHY and Sands that has included more than $2 million in Sands Cares support for NPHY since 2014. In addition to co-founding and helping produce the Summit, Sands has helped NPHY provide immediate relief for youth in crisis and build the organization’s capacity and capability to achieve its five-year strategic plan to address youth homelessness in Southern Nevada.
