HopeLink of Southern Nevada is a non-profit organization dedicated to preventing homelessness, preserving families, and providing hope across the valley. Services such as rental assistance, non-congregate emergency shelter, and rapid rehousing helps propel us toward our vision of ensuring that everyone has a safe place to call home, and helping our community build lasting stability.

But HopeLink doesn’t work alone. Its effectiveness comes from a growing web of community partnerships and collaborations with organizations that extend its reach, fill service gaps, and make comprehensive support possible.

Among its most impactful partnerships are four names many in Southern Nevada already know well: HELP of Southern Nevada, Three Square, The Just One Project, and Project Marilyn. Together, these non-profits are helping HopeLink offer wraparound services with real staying power and creating results that benefit our broader economy.

Connecting the Dots: What Makes a Partnership Work

Community partnerships are part of HopeLink's strategic service. By aligning with organizations that meet distinct needs, such as food security, hygiene access, and housing support, HopeLink creates a seamless referral experience.

Instead of sending a client to a different agency with a vague suggestion, the HopeLink team walks them through the process, helping facilitate appointments, and maintain strong communication lines with each partner agency. This human-centered coordination ensures that no one falls through the cracks.

HELP of Southern Nevada: Housing Coordination and Rapid Response

When a family in Southern Nevada loses their housing, timing becomes everything. HELP of Southern Nevada is a crucial partner in the regional response.

HELP of Southern Nevada and HopeLink share a common mission—providing vital resources and working together to keep families housed. When a family in Southern Nevada loses their home, every hour matters. Delays can mean children sleeping in cars, seniors left without utilities, or single parents struggling to keep their jobs. HELP is a key partner in the regional safety net, supporting the community’s rapid response efforts through coordinated housing placements and emergency resource distribution. Together, we work to ensure no family is left waiting for shelter or support, especially during periods of high displacement caused economic hardship.

Three Square: Nourishment as a Building Block

When housing is at risk, food security is often the first thing to go. Families will skip meals to pay rent, stretch pantry items well past expiration, or send kids to school with nothing in their lunch bags. HopeLink addresses these challenges through its long-standing relationship with Three Square, Southern Nevada’s leading food bank.

By partnering with Three Square, HopeLink is able to distribute shelf-stable goods, fresh produce, and essential food staples directly to families facing economic distress. This partnership removes one more barrier to long-term stability, so children can focus in school, parents can maintain their health, and household budgets become less strained.

Businesses that support this food distribution pipeline play a direct role in strengthening workforce readiness and educational outcomes. It’s a nutritional investment with economic returns.

The Just One Project: Community Access Made Mobile

The Just One Project brings a bold idea to life: if people can’t get to services, bring the services to them. With mobile market events and pop-up pantry programs, The Just One Project meets clients where they are, literally.



HopeLink frequently collaborates with The Just One Project to extend food access, provide real-time support, and connect people with case management in their own neighborhoods. These efforts reduce the transportation gap for families without reliable vehicles and ensure that support doesn’t depend on someone’s ability to navigate complex systems.

Project Marilyn: Dignity in the Details

Too often, the conversation around hardship stops at housing and food. But personal care products, especially for women and girls, are essential to dignity and health. Project Marilyn fills this need by providing period kits and hygiene items to local non-profits, including HopeLink.

When HopeLink case managers meet with a family, they pay attention to the small details that make a big difference. Access to hygiene supplies may not seem like a top priority, but for many clients, it’s the difference between feeling overlooked and feeling seen.

Support for organizations like Project Marilyn strengthens HopeLink’s ability to serve the whole person.

Why Housing Stability Matters to the Business Community

In Nevada, stabilizing a family through HopeLink’s prevention programs costs around $4,000 per household, compared to an estimated $93,000 per person annually when homelessness forces reliance on emergency services. Additionally, HopeLink’s partnerships have helped achieve a housing recidivism rate below 5%, compared to a national average near 15%, meaning the support provided leads to lasting results.

The ripple effects reach the business sector directly. Families who avoid eviction are far more likely to stay employed, keep children enrolled in school, and remain active participants in the local economy. For the broader community, it lowers the strain on hospitals, law enforcement, and shelters.

When businesses contribute through financial sponsorships or volunteer involvement, they are investing in a stronger Southern Nevada. The return is a more stable workforce, healthier neighborhoods, and a more resilient economy.
