What is an Emergency Shelter?

An emergency shelter is more than just a roof over one's head; it's a sanctuary offering respite and resources for individuals facing challenges. At Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada, our emergency shelter for men provides 400 beds, ensuring a clean and secure environment for those seeking refuge.

Accessing the Men’s Shelter 

The journey to safety begins with understanding the entry requirements. To access our emergency shelter for men, individuals must arrive during designated check-in hours, which commence at 2:30 PM daily. Upon arrival, guests are provided with laundered linens, access to showers, restroom facilities, and, when available, essential toiletries.

Who Can Seek Shelter?

Our men’s shelter is tailored to accommodate adult men who are coherent, and capable of caring for themselves independently. It's important to note that while we provide a safe environment, we do not have medical staff on-site and cannot offer medical care of any kind.

Within our emergency shelter for men, bunk beds await, equipped with lexan sneeze guards for added safety.

Our commitment to cleanliness is unwavering; the shelter undergoes daily cleaning and sanitation procedures to ensure a hygienic environment for all.
