The recent changes in our economy are affecting many people. Many have lost jobs or are living in fear of losing their jobs in the near future. If you have recently found yourself unemployed, this information is for you. Unexpected job loss is devastating. In addition to financial gains, employment gives us a sense of purpose and is a part of our identity. As you go through the process of finding new employment, whether in your current field, or in a new career, you may need help. This information offers resources for you as you prepare. The agencies listed can offer help with financial and credit problems, basic needs such as food, shelter, utilities, health care, legal services and job search assistance. The inclusion of agencies and programs does not constitute endorsement nor does omission suggest disapproval. If you cannot find the specific information you need, you can call Nevada 2-1-1 call center—Source for Basic Health and Human Services Information and Referral. Or, if you are a member of a union you can call ULAN at (702) 648-3500.
