SHARE VILLAGE LAS VEGAS MAIN CAMPUS Case Study
50 N. 21st. Street, Las Vegas, NV 89101
204 Units with 24/7/365 Crisis Intervention Center
10 Units/ Sands Cares Container House Village
Share Village #2 became the main campus of the Share Village Las Vegas organization in a neighborhood where we had created a master plan to end homelessness through the development of a series of villages. This village sits on a 4-acre parcel and contains 204 apartments and a 10-unit repurposed ocean container village that was constructed using repurposed and recycled ocean containers. The site contains a series of solar panels harnessing energy from the sun, a large internal park, a dog park, an outdoor amphitheater, a veterans’ memorial plaza saluting our heroes, a fully outfitted food pantry and food storage area, large community room for public activities and a leasing office.
It should be noted that before Share Village Las Vegas took ownership of this apartment complex it was a dilapidated slum dwelling that hosted drug dealing, prostitution, gangs, and an overall high crime rate. Through a careful partnership with Metro Police and local government and businesses, this has become truly a model for replication.
All apartments are self-contained with a kitchen and dining area, a sleeping area and a full bathroom. The site also contains sweeping views of the Las Vegas valley from the second floor and has ample landscape and a very comfortable village-like setting.
This village has multiple events such as two food pantries a week, Nevada Homeless Alliance multi service fairs, medical enrollment, and a myriad of other services on site.
This village has become a hub in the area for food distribution, wraparound supportive services, high-quality affordable housing, and connectivity to the other villages in the neighborhood.
