Las Vegas, NV – February 23, 2026 – In a landmark show of support for children and families in crisis, Clark County has entered into a 25-year with renewable option lease agreement with Olive Crest, effectively donating the use of the property at 4233 N. Rancho Drive to help transform lives in Southern Nevada. Olive Crest is also deeply grateful to University Medical Center for its vital partnership and collaboration in this process. UMC played a key role in advancing this vision, offering guidance and support that ensured a seamless partnership with Clark County for the benefit of children and families.

The site will become the future home of Olive Crest’s campus including a Children and Family Resource Center, a vital hub offering services to strengthen families, prevent child abuse, and keep children safe. In addition to rehabilitating the existing building, Olive Crest will construct 16 apartments on the land behind the facility, providing stable homes for teens and young adults who have aged out of the child welfare system and helping them launch into independence.

“This extraordinary act of generosity from Clark County is a powerful affirmation of our shared commitment to protecting children and strengthening families,” said Jimmy Monaghan, Executive Director of Olive Crest in Nevada. “This campus will be a place of healing, hope, and transformation for generations to come.”

“Protecting our children, especially when they are in crisis, is a responsibility I care deeply about,” said Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick. “This agreement demonstrates Clark County’s commitment to being part of the solution for families who need us most.”

The new campus is a cornerstone of Olive Crest’s Vegas Cares About Kids Campaign, which mobilizes community support to divert children from the child welfare system and address the root causes of family instability. The long-term lease ensures that Olive Crest can invest deeply in services and infrastructure that will benefit Southern Nevada for decades.

Olive Crest extends heartfelt thanks to Clark County leadership and to the many donors and advocates who continue to make this vision a reality.
