Washoe County will be taking over the region’s Continuum of Care (CoC) this summer from the City of Reno. This means that the County will be the direct governmental entity in the region requesting and receiving HUD Federal Funding. The CoC is designed to promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; provide funding for efforts by local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Commissioner Hill will discuss the County’s current successful management of the Women and Family Shelter (Our Place) and the County’s plans to leverage this track record at the Men’s/Couple’s Shelter and at the County’s new Safe Camp at the CARES Campus this summer with a combination of caseworkers, social workers, housing specialists and training/education programs. 

Elected to the Board of County Commissioners in 2020, Alexis Hill represents Washoe County Commission District 1, which includes portions of the northwest and southwest Truckee Meadows extending south along the eastern Sierras to include Incline Village and Crystal Bay at Lake Tahoe.  

Born in Sparks, she brings her lifelong passion to build up and enrich her community as a public administrator and nonprofit leader to Washoe County.  Hill worked in public policy and city planning for more than a decade at the cities of Sparks and Reno
