FACT BRIEFIs Clark County paying the City of Las Vegas' portion of the Campus for Hope project?
Yes.
North Las Vegas, Las Vegas and Clark County have all agreed to contribute $15 million total to Campus for Hope annually. The project is a wrap-around services campus for treating homelessness based on a model out of San Antonio. For the time being, Henderson has declined to enter into a financial agreement, though the decision is not final.
Last year, Las Vegas came to an agreement to settle the Badlands dispute at $636 million, which has put the city in a tough financial position with a budget deficit of more than $100 million. In light of that, Clark County has agreed to help with Las Vegas' contributions to the Campus for Hope through 2031.
