With support from the UNLV Greenspun College of Urban Affairs and the Las Vegas Review-Journal,<\/i> this year’s Summit will focus on Powering the Movement to End Youth Homelessness in Southern Nevada<\/span>, as community leaders outline the complex challenges vulnerable youth face resulting from today’s rapidly changing employment landscape, a scarcity of affordable housing, heightened mental health needs and breakdowns in support networks.<\/p>\n

Amid this backdrop, Summit 2022 will launch The Movement Institute \u2013 an innovative, inspiring and hands-on advocacy training to empower community members to “Be the Movement to End Youth Homelessness.” The institute has been designed to educate community members \u2013 both those involved in The Movement and newcomers who want to champion positive change for vulnerable youth. After its debut at Summit 2022, The Movement Institute will provide an ongoing advocacy forum to integrate community members into the fight to end youth homelessness in Southern Nevada<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“Even before the crises of the past several years, Southern Nevada<\/span> had one of the highest rates of youth homelessness in the nation,” said Arash Ghafoori<\/span>, CEO, NPHY. “The elevated barriers our community’s youth face today are disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable and are likely to exacerbate youth homelessness. As we continue to re-orient our response to addressing the impacts of the pandemic and today’s environment, we are at another crossroads. It is imperative that we find a renewed commitment to lifting up youth in crisis and putting them on a path toward the futures they deserve.”<\/p>\n
