Mission Statement
Homeless Helpers, D.B.A. C.A.R.E. Complex is a Southern Nevada based, fully-inclusive 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to foster responsibility, accountability and self-reliance in individuals to achieve a permanent transition out of homelessness.
Organization History
Homeless Helpers (d.b.a. C.A.R.E. Complex) was established in 2005 by Michael Swecker to fill in gaps in homeless services along the "Corridor of Hope," an area that houses a significant proportion of Las Vegas' homeless population. Specifically, the organization began feeding those in the homeless community that were unable to attend the dining times offered by local shelters in the area because they did not get off work on time or experienced transportation barriers that prevented them from arriving to shelters on time. Demand was always high for this service, and soon Mr. Swecker formed relationships with his clients and found that there were many other fundamental services that were not being provided by local organizations. Homeless Helpers was primarily a street-feeding organization, and without a permanent location near his clients, it was difficult to consistently provide the services needed to lift individuals out of homelessness. In 2014, Mr. Swecker purchased a foreclosed property that was located ideally in the heart of the Corridor of Hope, with a vision of expanding his services to provide comprehensive care to clients that would ultimately end their homelessness. The building was in dire need of extensive repair and could not house services immediately, but with Mr. Swecker's vision and help from the community, the C.A.R.E. Complex was officially born.

What they do
Who they are
Our Homeless to Home program provides housing for clients who have obtained steady employment and reached a level of self-reliance that shows they are able to sustain permanent housing. The last barrier to ending one's homelessness is often the ability to pay for first/last month's rent and other necessary monetary deposits. We have found that subsidizing an average of $1,000 will cover these costs and provide a tangible, permanent housing solution for each of our clients.
