Las Vegas (October 19, 2026) – Campus for Hope today announced the selection of entry point partners and additional community partners, bringing the current total of partners to 51 Southern Nevada organizations. The additional 14 on-campus organizations, when combined with the previously announced organizations (total of 40), create a full continuum of care directly on the campus that is carefully designed to help individuals and families address the underlying cause of their homelessness and support them through every step of their journey to stability. The 16 selected entry point partners will operate from their existing locations to help connect those needing services and who are ready to end their homelessness directly with the Campus for Hope.
“From the very start of planning for Campus for Hope, we understood the importance of working collaboratively work with successful, existing community organizations to deliver an impactful system of care that will fully support families and individuals as they begin to rebuild their lives and dream for their futures. We have found 40 organizations who share our vision for creating a trauma-informed environment of healing, dignity and respect and who are dedicated to working alongside other providers on campus to give a lifeline to those in our community who need it the most,” said Kim Jefferies, CEO of Campus for Hope. “In addition to the three Navigation Centers, the 16 selected entry point partners will ensure a no wrong door approach that ensures Campus for Hope can reach any and all future residents ready to take the first step on their journey to stability.”
Campus for Hope’s model is designed to provide comprehensive services that meet the unique needs of each individual and family experiencing homelessness from the moment they step onto campus. The selected partners provide a significant portion of those services, including:
- medical, dental, vision and behavioral health care
- substance use treatment and workforce development
- parent training, financial literacy and animal care
- wellness and afterschool programs
- services for specialty populations such as people fleeing domestic violence, survivors of trafficking, veterans and LGBTQ+ individuals
“Every on-campus partner we have selected to collaborate with closes a gap, which otherwise could keep someone stuck in survival mode,” Jefferies added. “We’re especially honored to have The Just One Project who will provide necessary nutrition for our residents, every meal, every day ensuring they have the nourishment to begin their healing journey. Providing the basic need for food, is something that many of us take for granted but It’s more than just a meal on our campus, it’s hope served up on a plate. Their reach across the Valley and their belief that no one should go hungry is exactly the spirit we want on this campus.”
The Just One Project will serve as the Nutrition Services provider. The Just One Project will prepare and provide three nutritious, colorful meals for all Campus for Hope residents. Through an onsite culinary team led by an Executive Chef and supported by a full-time Registered Dietician, The Just One Project will provide thoughtfully planned and prepared meals that support resident health, dignity and overall well-being throughout their time on the campus. At full capacity, The Just One Project will provide up to 1,600 meals each day, ensuring that reliable access to nutritious food is an integral part of the Campus for Hope model and will support each resident’s journey towards stability and self-sufficiency.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with Campus for Hope and be part of a collaborative effort that is reimagining how we care for our neighbors across Southern Nevada,” said Brooke Neubauer, Founder and CEO of The Just One Project. “We know that access to fresh, intentional, nutritious food is an important part of creating stability, and this partnership allows us to bring our expertise in food access into a larger network of care. Campus for Hope represents what is possible when organizations come together around a shared commitment to meeting people where they are and creating meaningful pathways forward. We are honored to help nourish the individuals and families who will call this campus home as they take their next steps toward stability.”
