The Shelter of Hope (formerly known as the Women's and Children's Shelter) first opened in 1982. Designed and built by men in the residential recovery program - it stands as a living monument to the skills and abilities that exist in the homeless community. Able to house up to 35 women and children, the shelter has a large living room as well as a well-equipped playroom for the children. Women in our residential recover program as well as our overnight emergency shelter guests stay here. Shown here with a new roof installed in March 2006.

New Life Center opened in 2003. This two story, 15,000 sq. ft. building that, when at full capacity, houses 152 men. Moreover, a wing is dedicated for single fathers, a segment of the homeless population that is not being serviced today. There is also an educational wing that houses a library, computer lab, and classrooms that will give our residents the ability to access various recovery classes, give time to personal study, prepare resumes, make phone calls to prospective employers, and much more.

Chapel and Administrative Building was contructed in 1991. This is where all church services are held at the Mission. In addition, it houses our administrative offices and reception desk.

Dinning Hall and Emergency Shelter is the original Las Vegas Rescue Mission started in 1970 before all the other buildings were slowly added. However, it didn't look like this in the beginning. It didn't have a second floor and it was about half it's current size. It was extended and the second floor was added in 1978? to accommodate the ever growing need. Today, it houses our kitchen, dinning hall, and emergency shelter for men. The upstairs offices are used today primarily for clothing storage.

Thrift Store and Warehouse is where all gift in-kind donations to the Mission are taken and prepared for sale inside the thrift store or given out free of charge to the needy. This building was actually part of an old junkyard before the Mission acquired the land west of "E" street all the way to "F" street. Needless to say, this land and its buildings needed a lot of cleanup work. In 2006 the inside was completely remodeled by volunteers and support provided by Harrah's Foundation.
