Shelter of Hope

Help For Those Who Need It

Shelter Intake

We do search each person and their belongings upon arrival. We complete state and federal background checks as we cannot accept anyone on the sex offender registry. Everyone is breathalyzed and COVID tested prior to entering. Medication is also kept off of all persons and stored in a designated medication room.

The intake location is off of City Parkway, the West end of our property. We have everyone line up where our community meal takes place.

Community Meal starts at 5pm. We will then have a second intake at 6pm if we have beds available.

Important Information

Intake is daily, Monday through Sunday at 3:00pm (with the line opening at 2:30pm) and at 6:00pm (after the evening meal).
We operate on a first come first served basis ONLY.

Shelters and Programs

MEN’S SHELTER

Single men: Dormitory with 96 beds.

Fathers with children: 12 beds designated for single fathers is available.

Additional Shelter Programming:

The Shelter Department offers an Extended Stay Program. It is designed to assist individuals who are job ready and aimed at breaking the cycle of homelessness. Individuals are required to fill out an application for the program. If they are accepted they are required to meet with an assigned Shelter Coordinator regularly to discuss basic needs, provide community resources and referrals for obtaining Identification Cards, Birth Certificates, Social Security Cards, and creating resumes needed for employment, as well as working with community partners towards obtaining Education/Certification/Work Cards geared toward stability in the workforce so that they may obtain independent living in society.

The Las Vegas Recuse Mission provides two Parenting and Prevention Groups:

1) Active Parenting 4th Edition (for ages 5-12)
2) Active Parenting of Teens: Families in Action (for ages 11-16)

They are a family-based alcohol-, tobacco-, and other drug (ATOD) abuse–prevention program that targets families with children ages 5 to 16.

The specific goals are to:
1) increase youths’ positive attachment to their families and their schools,
2) increase their positive peer relations,
3) promote unfavorable attitudes toward the use of ATODs, and
4) increase self-esteem.

The goals for parents are very similar:
1) increase positive attachment to their families;
2) increase positive involvement in their children’s schools; and
3) promote unfavorable attitudes toward the use of ATODs by minors.
