Nearly 14,000 people will experience homelessness in Southern Nevada this year, a slight increase from last year, according to Help Hope Home.
The community helped those in need on Tuesday with Project Homeless Connect, which provides valuable resources all for free.
News 3 was told more than 800 people were expected.
Last year, more than 1,500 took advantage of the event.
The annual event is put on by Nevada Homeless Alliance and Touro University Nevada to offer numerous services to anyone who may be homeless or low-income.
The event spread out across the Silver Nugget with medical and dental services inside, covid vaccines, and more.
Outside of the casino, there were white tents with booths for mental health counseling, legal aid, and information for housing.
People were also able to get free food, clothes, hygiene products, and even pet food.
Transportation was offered via the Arrow to allow people a way to get on-site.
Robert Fralick, who stopped by with his dog, was very thankful to receive help ahead of Thanksgiving.
“Everybody benefits. People get to help out. We get to go live indoors, some people. Some people get jobs and whatnot. Animals get taken care of,” Fralick said. “Today, I was just sleeping in tunnels. Now, I get to go sleep indoors. So yeah, it’s a good day for me.”
