While the downtown area is beautiful and lively with the numerous casinos, restaurants, and shops, no one can ignore the increasing homeless population that resides mostly in that area. This section is designed to be a resource for those who know of people who are in need of support and assistance in addition to those who are homeless seeking help. There are many resources available in the Reno/Sparks area to assist any person who is unfortunate not to have a steady home.
