Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada's First District, and a member of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, announced $2.6 million in grants for nonprofit organizations to help end veterans homelessness in Southern Nevada. As part of a national effort led by the Department of Veterans Affairs, these grants will be utilized to provide services to low-income veterans and their families who are living in, or transitioning to, permanent housing.

"Although the rate of homelessness among veterans has fallen, there are still far too many of our heroes living on the streets," said Titus. "I am pleased to announce these grants which will provide critical funds to assist local non-profits, like Las Vegas' US Veterans Initiative, in their efforts to help Southern Nevada's most vulnerable veteran families get back on their feet and transition to permanent housing."
