The City of Las Vegas was awarded a $376,366 project grant from the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance under the Treatment Court Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 16.585). The grant will fund the Las Vegas Municipal Court's Fresh Start Program, which will provide services to 70 nonviolent misdemeanor offenders experiencing homelessness annually from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2026.

The Fresh Start Program aims to reduce homelessness in Las Vegas and Clark County by addressing the underlying issues contributing to participants' offenses, such as unemployment, lack of access to mental health and substance abuse treatment services. The program will connect individuals to community partners and providers to help coordinate stable housing and treatment. As the sole sub-awardee, the City of Las Vegas Municipal Court will deliver the Fresh Start Program's services to achieve the grant's goals of breaking the cycle of citations, arrests, and jail time for this vulnerable population.
