The Southern Nevada Latino Community Coalition (LUZ) is a newly formed Coalition designed to educate and mobilize the local latino communities across the Southern portion of Nevada to indentify risk and protective factors that positively affect drug and alcohol abuse in their counties, and to educate the community on the prevention of a number of at-risk behaviors leading to the reduction and eventual elimination of drug and alcohol abuse across all levels of society.

The geographic landscapes that comprise the LUZ Community Coalition are the Counties of Clark, Lincoln, Nye, Esmarelda, Mineral, Lyon and Douglas.

The Coalition is currently being funded by the Nevada Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Abuse through Goshen Community Development Coalition located in Clark County, Nevada.

The LUZ Community Coalition is currently being mentored by the Goshen Community Development Coalition with the intention of developing the LUZ Community into an antonomous, self-supporting Coalition.
