Community Homelessness Advisory Board

Established in 2011, the Transitional Governing Board’s purpose was to provide governing oversight by the three jurisdictions of the operator for the Community Assistance Center. The need around homeless issues in our region has expanded and as a result, the new CHAB is intended to serve as the lead entity and to provide recommendations and coordination regionally regarding homelessness.

The Community Homelessness Advisory Board is comprised of elected representatives from the City of Reno, City of Sparks, and Washoe County.  The board is tasked with providing input and making recommendations on homeless issues in the region.  Meetings are open to the public.
