The Community Action Program allocates more than two million dollars annually to community nonprofit organizations to provide an array of services to homeless and low-income individuals and families in Clark County. Examples of funded services include emergency shelter, energy assistance, homelessness prevention through rent/mortgage assistance and case management, access to services, food programs, employment programs, and programs that provide legal assistance for non-criminal matters.

The demand for services far exceeds the available funding. The Energy Assistance Program serves only 15% of the need assistance. 50% of those seeking emergency shelter are turned away and homelessness prevention assistance is only able to serve 20% of the need. The Community Action Program works with community partners to prioritize help to alleviate identified community needs.
