Compassion, Accountability, and Safer Neighborhoods in District E

A crisis at a ten-year high, neighborhoods that deserve to feel safe, and people who deserve a way off the street.
The honest answer needs both compassion and accountability.
Clark County's 2024 point-in-time count found more than 7,900 people experiencing homelessness on a single night, over half of them unsheltered. That number shows up in parks, underpasses, and business doorways differently depending on which part of the valley you're in and District E residents see it up close on local corridors, not just in headlines about downtown.
The county funds and oversees a meaningful share of the region's shelter, outreach, and behavioral-health response, which means this seat has real influence over both how much capacity exists and how it's measured. Right now, most residents have no clear way to see whether conditions in their specific area are improving or not.
Manny doesn't see compassion and order as opposing goals. He wants real investment in shelter beds, stabilization capacity, and outreach teams, paired with consistent enforcement that keeps parks, sidewalks, and business corridors safe and usable. And he wants it made visible: quarterly public reporting broken out by area, so District E residents can see what's actually changing near them instead of a single countywide number that hides local reality.

Manny's Five Action Items.
1.
Expand real shelter and stabilization bed capacity, not just outreach programs.
2.
Fund consistent outreach teams paired with consistent enforcement — not one without the other.
3.
Publish quarterly homelessness and safety data broken out by area, District E included.
4.
Hold service providers and contracts accountable to outcomes, not just funding renewal.
5.
Keep public spaces — parks, sidewalks, business corridors — safe and usable for residents.
