The CoC has created a survey for homeless service agencies (broadly defined) in our 4-county region to identify challenges and needs related to Covid-19 as well as resources we can potentially share across agencies. Although we do not know the outcome, we intend to use these data to demonstrate the scope of our needs and advocate for assistance from other local sectors (i.e. government and foundations). The survey likely will take about 10 minutes.

Homelessness in Northwest Arkansas is a SOLVABLE Problem!

The mission of Northwest Arkansas Continuum of Care is to coordinate a community response to end homelessness in Northwest Arkansas. “We believe no one should sleep outdoors or in other places not meant for human habitation. We believe homelessness is a solvable problem through coordinated activities that match resources with needs in our community.”

The Census has posted several resources to explain how they count people experiencing homelessness, how privacy and confidentiality are preserved, and how organizations can assist with the count. Additionally, the Census has published contact information for its Regional Census Centers if you have questions about the count or who is contacting you.
