The project has been in the works for some time now. The city of Las Vegas budgeted $15 million to create a one-stop shop to help people with things like social services, job assistance and anything they might need.

"Sounds like a great thing and you know, it's needed,” said Harold Martin, who has been homeless for two months.

Mayor Carolyn Goodman says the first step of the process is to make everyone feel safe there and let them know they can get back on their feet.
