Executive summary the mission of the nevada homeless alliance is to create impactful partnerships and promote collaboration among private, public and nonprofit sectors through advocacy, events and education. The proposed vista project aligns with the economic opportunity focus area. The vista project will seek to expand efforts to increase resources for ending homelessness, through: increasing public awareness and enhancing community engagement; increasing the frequency of collaborative outreach events to improve access to resources; and increasing capacity of homeless service agencies to provide evidenced-based practices. The project expects to benefit over 3,000 people experiencing homelessness annually, as well as homeless service agencies, and the southern nevada homelessness continuum of care. Over the course of one year, two vista members will contribute to the goals of the project by performing activities such as developing community awareness and engagement tools; fundraising, developing a speaker's bureau on homelessness, developing plans for volunteer management and outreach, and developing workshops and other learning opportunities for homeless service agencies to provide best-practice interventions. The nevada homeless alliance is prepared to manage an americorp grant. We feel strongly that the goals of our organization are well aligned with the mission and objective of the americorp vista program. Thank you for your consideration.
