Homelessness among youth is a growing crisis in the Las Vegas Valley, the state of Nevada, and the United States. For more than a decade, the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth has provided Southern Nevada’s unaccompanied homeless youth with help, hope, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
NPHY is the most comprehensive service provider for the thousands of homeless youth in Southern Nevada. NPHY provides access to life-saving services for homeless youth 24 hours a day at virtually every street corner in Southern Nevada.
Our programs stabilize the lives of homeless teens, providing a safe, supportive environment and a path to self-sufficiency. Through our work with homeless youth, NPHY creates productive, healthy adults who contribute to society.
