COVID-19

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.”

2020 CENSUS

Many of you have generously given your time to help the Census accurately count people experiencing homelessness for the 2020 Census. Given the current efforts to address COVID-19, the Census announced that they will push back the count of people experiencing homelessness to April 29 through May 1. All local area Census offices are working with a reduced number of staff due to social distancing guidance until further notice but are trying to be as responsive as possible to questions. To the extent you are able, we encourage you to work with them to accurately count people experiencing homelessness.

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.
