Coalition weighs stricter registration and prioritization as Fair Chance Wednesdays grow
Summary
Fair Chance Wednesdays attendance and participation have increased, prompting the Clark County Reentry Coalition to consider registration enforcement, eligibility criteria, and a rotation or category-based system to ensure limited space (about 25 gym tables) serves local providers and residents effectively.
Coalition members raised operational concerns about Fair Chance Wednesdays during the April 21 meeting as participation expanded beyond prior levels.
Minutes state the gym has roughly 25 tables available and that unregistered agencies, repeated no-shows, and increased interest from out-of-county providers (particularly substance-use treatment agencies) have stressed planning and space allocation. Members discussed possible solutions including stricter registration enforcement, limiting participation to coalition members or Clark County providers unless a clear service gap exists, a rotation system, or organizing tables by category (housing, employment, treatment).
The coalition asked members to provide feedback on registration and eligibility policies so Fair Chance Wednesdays remain effective and equitable for participants and providers; no formal policy change or vote was recorded at this meeting.
