Prevention is the Path Forward: HopeLink’s Fight Against Homelessness

Tom Letizia

On this episode of Middle Ground with Tom Letizia, we sit down with Aaron Sheets, CEO of HopeLink of Southern Nevada, one of the state’s most impactful nonprofits dedicated to preventing homelessness. Aaron shares how HopeLink has grown its services by 1,600% since 2018, why prevention costs a fraction of managing homelessness, and the critical role community partnerships play in keeping Nevada families, seniors, and children in their homes.

From navigating the end of the CARES Housing Assistance Program to expanding services like Hope4Seniors and Rapid Rehousing, Aaron offers insight into the human and economic cost of housing instability—and how prevention can strengthen our entire community.
