The STAR (Stability, Tenancy, Access, Restore) Rapid Rehousing program is a collaborative supportive housing project between Clark County Social Service (CCSS) and community organizations who intend to address the housing needs of non-chronically homeless Clark County residents. CCSS receives referrals for this program through hospitals, psychiatric facilities, and jails throughout Clark County. The program aims to provide frequent visitors of these facilities with the supportive housing and wrap around supportive services necessary to become stable and address the underlying causes of homelessness. Clients are referred through Coordinated Entry.

The STAR (Stability, Tenancy, Access, and Restore) Permanent Supportive Housing program provides housing assistance and supportive services to Clark County households with at least one member (adult or child) with a disability. The duration of rental assistance is based upon the household's ongoing housing needs. Housing services are linked to intensive case management and wraparound services to support a client’s transition to permanent housing and promote ongoing stable housing. All clients are referred through Coordinated Entry.
