2 News Nevada has partnered with the city of Renault this week to present stories about stray Nevada, which emphasizes the city’s initiatives and the people it supports.
Join us this week as we present you accounts from people who have experienced homelessness and have gone through programs to help them change their lives.
The Reno Reno and Equality initiative, often known as Rise, is at the center of our discussion on Monday night. The RISE team works on the Pathway pilot program, which has already begun to change. After starting in July 2023, six people found housing after leaving the streets.
Before the start of this program, the people they were helping to have – on average – for the homeless for ten years.
These teams help people overcome obstacles that can prevent them from accepting help as protecting their animals.
