THE LOOP A COLLECTION OF STORIES FROM AROUND NEVADA
JANUARY 2023
ISSUE 22
Greetings from WestCare Nevada, As with each new year comes the promise of new opportunities to serve and further impact the lives of individuals and families within our care. With this, a project that has been gaining steady support over the last couple of years, The Village at the Women and Children's Campus, was just awarded $2.5M in federal Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agency (THUD) funding. This generous gift only puts more wind in our sails as we prepare to officially break ground later this year on the 63,623 squarefoot plot that will provide 84 transitional living units for women and their children. Meanwhile, we will implement Resource Center services for Health Plan of Nevada (HPN) members at the Community Triage Center (CTC). The Resource Center clients will have access to the full benefits offered at the CTC including day treatment, shelter, case management, psychoeducation, therapeutic groups, showers, laundry, hot meals, and donations. Additionally, this year, we will be securing office space to provide outpatient treatment in Reno and Sparks, NV – further impacting new communities with the same services that have already changed countless lives in Southern Nevada.
