Hope Means Nevada

National Homeless Youth Awareness Month is in November, but the work starts now.

Help Eddy House raise awareness, expand support, and sustain the services that help homeless and at-risk youth ages 18-24 build safe, stable, independent futures.

Home Means Nevada

For young people experiencing homelessness, moving into a place of their own is a major step toward stability and independence.
