Las Vegas, NV, November 02, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Nevada Women’s Philanthropy grants $325,000 to Salvation Army, NWP Founder’s Grant goes to Community Counseling Center of Southern Nevada Las Vegas (Oct. 31, 2011) - Nevada Women’s Philanthropy (NWP) elected to award its $325,000 2011 grant to Salvation Army of Southern Nevada. SA will use the money to re-roof and rehabilitate the 12,500 square-foot emergency overnight shelter at its five-acre Owens Campus.
“For years, SA has served our neediest populations in Las Vegas, the homeless or near homeless,” NWP president Susie Lee said. “NWP’s grant will be spent wisely and will have a lasting impact for Salvation Army and the people it serves.”
When the construction is completed, SA will be able to increase its overnight capacity to 120 beds for approximately 75 men and 45 women every night. It currently serves 4,000 unduplicated homeless people per year. Those who spend the night in the emergency shelter must have legal identification and be able to pay the $8 per night fee to stay in a temperature controlled, safe place.
“Salvation Army is thankful to be this year’s NWP grant recipient,” Clark County Coordinator, Major Robert Lloyd said. “Our funding is down by close to $3 million from where we were before the recession.
“If Salvation Army didn’t receive this money from NWP, we would face losing this building.”
