Reno teen Jason Martin said he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep in over a year.
The 19-year-old went into the foster care system when he was 7 or 8 and has lived in nearly a dozen foster and group homes.
After graduating from high school in Fallon in 2024, Martin lived in a group home and then in Washoe County’s homeless shelter, the Cares Campus.
He’s witnessed two stabbings while living on the streets and around the shelter. He never felt safe, hated the food and had his things stolen multiple times.
Martin moved into the one-bedroom Midtown apartment with help from Renner’s Rennervation Foundation and Los Angeles based charity A Sense of Home.

If federal tax credits expire, thousands of Nevadans could lose health coverage, while others may see premiums double or triple.
Dr. Brad Isaacs, president of the Clark County Medical Society, warned that losing subsidies could overwhelm emergency rooms and even force closures.
“How much do you have to hurt your population before it gets fixed?” he asked.
Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) stressed the need for Congress to act, noting families could face $4,000 in added annual costs and $335 billion in higher premiums nationwide over the next decade.
In the immediate term, however, it’s the looming loss of Affordable Care Act subsidies and cuts to Medicaid that are causing alarm about Nevadans’ ability to access care.

$7M insurance policy will cover ‘direct expenses’ of cyber attack, state official tells lawmakers: “Timothy Galluzi, the state’s chief information officer and executive director of the governor’s technology office, referenced the policy Thursday while answering questions from state legislators about the Aug. 24 cyber security incident that crippled many state operations for weeks. ‘We have $7 million coverage,” he said, “and we believe that level of coverage is going to be ample to cover the direct expenses from this.’ The direct expenses so far are ‘well under that,’ Galluzi added.” (Nevada Current)
