Clark County's Rising Homeless Population
Clark County has reported a 20 percent rise in its homeless population, a figure that has not been seen since 2014. This sharply increasing trend in homelessness draws attention to ongoing challenges faced by local government and community leaders.
Key Factors Behind the Increase
