OPINION: The Washoe County CARES Campus Is A Top-To-Bottom Fraud and Failure
The Washoe County CARES Campus (WCCC), is the public agency tasked with solving our county’s homeless problem. It is a top-to-bottom fraud and failure. Aiding the destruction of many lives it purports to help, it has made our county’s homeless problem exponentially worse.
From 2017 to 2024, metropolitan Reno’s general population increased 14%. During that same time period, Reno’s homeless population increased by over 2,000% (from 80 to 1,800), If this trajectory continues, Reno’s projected homeless population in 2031 would be 36,000.
