FREE, In-Person Veteran Support Services to West Las Vegas Library
LAS VEGAS (April 23, 2026) - The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District and Kline Veterans Fund opened the doors April 23 on PILOT at West Las Vegas Library. This community-based initiative is designed to improve access to critical housing and support services specifically for veterans at no cost.
PILOT (Preventing Instability through Live Outreach & Targeted Support) provides veterans with one-on-one assistance with applications for resource access, navigation, and immediate support services in the convenient, community-centered setting of the West Las Vegas Library.
“PILOT is about access,” said Stephanie Helms, executive director of Kline Veterans Fund. “We know that for many veterans, the barrier isn’t whether help exists—it’s how to reach it. Through our partnership with the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, we’re bringing our team directly into the community, removing those barriers and making it easier for veterans and their families to get support quickly. This program allows us to respond in real time and keep more households safely housed.”
Services include rapid-response housing assistance, such as rent, deposit, and utility aid, along with connections to food and transportation resources. PILOT services will be available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the West Las Vegas Library (1861 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) in the Community Resource Center, with a continued emphasis on timely assistance and personalized, face-to-face support.
Helms joined Library District Executive Director Kelvin Watson at West Las Vegas Library on April 23 for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the program’s launch.
“Libraries are trusted community hubs where people can find help, hope, and a path forward,” said Kelvin Watson, executive director of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District. “By partnering with Kline Veterans Fund to bring in-person support to West Las Vegas Library, we’re meeting veterans where they are and making it easier to connect with housing stability and essential resources—at no cost and with dignity.”
