A recent statewide report found that Nevada lacks the infrastructure, leadership, and funding needed to effectively address youth homelessness. Without a dedicated state entity, Nevada will remain unable to make meaningful progress toward ending youth homelessness.

Nearly 3,000 youth experiencing homelessness in Nevada sought social services last year, yet the state still falls far short in providing the support needed to prevent and end youth displacement. Currently, there are only 430 shelter beds dedicated specifically to youth—and none are located in 15 of Nevada’s rural counties.

In today’s world, false information spreads quickly. But don’t worry—here’s how you can stay informed and protect yourself:

Check the Source: Always verify the credibility of the source. Is it a reputable organization or individual?

Cross-Check Facts: Look for multiple sources reporting the same info. If it’s true, it’ll be reported by others too.

Be Skeptical of Sensational Headlines: Clickbait and emotional language often hide the truth. Dig deeper!

Check Dates & Context: Sometimes old stories are recycled or taken out of context to mislead.

Ask Experts: When in doubt, seek out experts or fact-checking websites to confirm the info.

Don’t get caught in the misinformation trap. Stay informed, stay critical, and always think before you share!

And it gets worse: starting in 2027, the state’s share of SNAP costs will jump by 50% as the federal government reduces its coverage—placing an enormous burden on Nevada’s budget and families who rely on these programs.

Now is the time to raise our voices: protecting SNAP means protecting families, children, seniors, and neighbors from hunger.
