Four Clark County programs received recognition from the National Association of Counties: The Harbor Juvenile Assessment Center, Pathway from Poverty, Safe@Home and the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center. The awards are given in categories that reflect the vast, comprehensive services counties provide to their communities. The categories include children and youth, criminal justice, county administration, information technology, health and civic engagement. The Harbor is designed to prevent children and teens from entering the juvenile justice system by providing resources to their families when problem behavior such as truancy, delinquency or drug and alcohol use escalate into more serious trouble. Pathway from Poverty was initiated by Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick to address neighborhoods in the northeast Las Vegas Valley plagued by crime, deficiencies in education, economic opportunities and quality of life. Clark County’s Department of Family Services developed the Safe@Home program to assess family needs and safety intervention strategies to prevent removal of children from their homes and help reunify families by providing in-home safety services. Clark County and community partners established the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center as the primary resource to turn to for anyone struggling with effects from the October 1 mass shooting.
