Casa De Luz

The vision of Casa de Luz is a community where each and every life has been transformed- physically, emotionally and spiritually- resulting in a happier, healthier, more productive Las Vegas. Our vision is to develop a replicable model for breaking cycles of poverty, abuse, crime and entitlement by providing viable, sustainable alternatives.

We have been operating in the neighborhood known as the Naked City since 2009 and have seen hundreds of lives transformed, as well as a dramatic reduction in crime rates, since we moved in and started feeding the hungry, helping the hurting and providing hope to the hopeless. Our goal is to reach out to more neighborhoods and help create true change.

At Casa de Luz, we believe that true community transformation comes from: ADDRESSING BASIC NEEDS, CATERING TO EMOTIONAL NEEDS, and FACILITATING SPIRITUAL NEEDS. Casa de Luz has a place-based 6-step approach to helping people to transform their lives, which in turn helps to transform the community overall: 

1. People Come as They Are, usually in crisis
2. Casa conducts a Needs Assessment (food, employment, recovery, intervention, self esteem, life skills, enrichment)
3. Casa provides Services or Connection to existing resources
4. Ongoing Care is administered through check-ins, counseling, celebrating successes, etc.
5. Regular, Ongoing Needs Assessments are conducted for next appropriate steps
6. Engagement of healthy people to volunteer and give back to their neighborhood

Our successful programs for adults, children and families are making a difference in eradicating cycles of entitlement, poverty, crime, and more.

We need your help to continue the transformation!
