Las Vegas, Nevada — The 2025 Nevada Youth Homelessness Summit is set to take place on Friday, November 14th, at the Historic Fifth Street School in Downtown Las Vegas. This important event is organized by the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY) in collaboration with Las Vegas Sands, and is supported by the UNLV Greenspun College of Urban Affairs and the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
This year marks the ninth annual summit, which aims to ignite a statewide Movement to End Youth Homelessness. The primary focus of the event will be to chart a comprehensive path towards the development of Nevada’s first standalone plan to eradicate youth homelessness.
According to the CEO of NPHY, significant progress has been made in the fight against youth homelessness in Nevada. However, new challenges are emerging that threaten to increase the number of young people at risk of becoming homeless. Thus, the upcoming summit will place a strong emphasis on the importance of including youth voices in crafting effective strategies to combat homelessness.
Following the summit, the development of the standalone plan to end youth homelessness is scheduled to begin in 2026. This plan will be modeled after the successful Southern Nevada Plan to End Youth Homelessness, which was introduced in 2018. The summit presents a timely opportunity to lay the groundwork for future initiatives dedicated to this cause.
An important highlight of the summit will be the unveiling of findings from the statewide Youth Experiencing Homelessness Study, which serves as a comprehensive needs assessment of the youth homelessness situation across Nevada. Registration for the summit opens on August 11th, 2025. The registration fees are set at $100 until September 19th, after which they will increase to $175 starting on September 20th.
The summit will convene a diverse group of participants, including young individuals with lived experience of homelessness, service providers, government agencies, civic and political leaders, and members of the private sector. The agenda will include updates on the progress made in the ongoing Movement to End Youth Homelessness, presentations from various speakers, and group discussions aimed at fostering collaboration and generating innovative ideas.
The 2025 Nevada Youth Homelessness Summit represents a critical opportunity for stakeholders across Nevada to come together, share insights, and collaborate on solutions to one of the state’s pressing social issues. The event aims not only to address immediate concerns, but also to lay the groundwork for a comprehensive and actionable plan that can significantly impact the lives of vulnerable young people in the state.
As the event approaches, it is hoped that the conversations and collaborations sparked at the summit will reverberate throughout the year, leading to tangible outcomes and a brighter future for youth facing homelessness in Nevada.
