While in Las Vegas your best bet is to dial 2-1-1 (if the call doen't go through, try a land line instead of a cell phone) or go to this web site. https://uwayreno-portal1.communityos.org…

At the web site you have to enter a key word then select "Clark County" and then Click "Go"

They have all sorts of help there. Their categories include:
* Basic human services (food, clothing, shelter, rental assistance, utility assistance)
* Physical and mental health resources (medical information lines, crisis intervention, support groups, counseling, drug and alcohol treatment, Medicaid/Medicare, maternal health, children's health, insurance)
* Employment support services (unemployment benefits, financial assistance, job training, transportation assistance, education programs

Note: The above includes shelter, food, employment, and transportation among many other services.

Good luck, Leslie.

Answer 4

This is a common story now. There just aren't any jobs here. People don't listen. They listen to the idiots who tell them that jobs are plentiful here and that they came and got a job in a couple of days. They are not telling the truth. You got suckered into this situation. To rely on a church to get you a place to live is not the most hopeful thing to rely on. Now the two of you are in the same situation. Sorry but not much you can do legally but in three years you will get healthcare. Maybe.
