LAS VEGAS (Dec. 2, 2025) — A new Experience Center was opened today for the Campus for Hope. This center is designed to provide more information on the comprehensive services that will be offered to help people experiencing homelessness create pathways to stability, This Center will help communicate what the Campus for Hope will become — a beautiful, community-forward campus designed to uplift and support, created to give a second chance to individuals facing homelessness in Southern Nevada. The new Campus for Hope Experience Center will serve as an ongoing hub where residents can learn more, offer input, and stay engaged as the Campus for Hope moves forward.
“With the community’s growing interest in Campus for Hope, we know this Experience Center will help everyone better understand the plans for this transformational campus, the people we will help and understand how we will uplift the entire community,” said Kim Jefferies, CEO of Campus for Hope. “Our campus will offer critical services to individuals experiencing homelessness, while also being thoughtfully designed to enhance the surrounding neighborhood. This is not just a place of support, it’s a center for opportunity, renewal and connection to resources.”
“When more Southern Nevadans can build stable, independent lives, our entire community becomes stronger,” said Mayor Pro Tem Brian Knudsen. “Campus for Hope is not only a lifeline for people in need — it is a long-term strategy that enriches the social and economic health of Southern Nevada.”
The Campus for Hope Difference
Campus for Hope is not a shelter — it is a transformational campus designed for individuals and families who are ready to pursue stability, employment, and independence. After being referred through a navigation center run by the local municipalities, eligible participants are welcomed onto campus with a full array of wrap-around services tailored to addressing the root causes of homelessness and help create meaningful pathways to stability.
“In addition to serving thousands of individuals, the campus will also create new educational and workforce development opportunities,” said Dr. Stacy Klippenstein, President of the College of Southern Nevada. “Through our partnership with Campus for Hope, College of Southern Nevada students will gain hands-on experience and career preparation, helping to shape the region’s future workforce.”
