Your Path to Stability Starts Here
At FirstMed Health and Wellness, we’re dedicated to making a positive impact in Southern Nevada. Our commitment extends beyond health care services to addressing the pressing issue of homelessness in our community. In our partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), we are working to make sure everyone has access to safe and stable housing.
Through our participation in the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program, we offer Stability Housing vouchers in partnership with the Southern Nevada Regional Housing Authority. Our compassionate case managers and community health workers are here to guide you on your journey toward finding, securing and maintaining housing.
What is the EHV Program?
Through the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program, HUD has provided housing choice vouchers to local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), which can select and partner with Continuums of Care (CoCs) and Victim Service Providers (VSPs) to provide housing care to those in need. As a selected partner of the program, we are equipped to assist individuals and families who are homeless, at-risk of homelessness, are vicitms of domestic violence or assault, or are facing instability or crisis.
Need Homelessness Assistance?
If you or someone you know is experiencing or at risk of homelessness, you may be eligible to receive housing support. For assistance or questions on how you can participate in the Emergency Housing Voucher program, contact a Coordinated Entry Access Point near you.
