Organizations Filed Purposes:
ENDING HOMELESSNESS IN OKC BY PROVIDING HOUSING, FACILITATING COLLABORATION AMONG CONCERNED COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND OPERATING THE ONLY DAY SHELTER IN OKC.
HOUSING-HOMELESSNESS IS A COMPLEX ISSUE WITH MANY CAUSES, BUT THE FIRST AND FOREMOST SOLUTION IS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE HOMELESS ALLIANCE PROVIDES FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND WRAPAROUND CASE MANAGEMENT TO HOMELESS FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, HOMELESS VETERANS, CHRONICALLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS, AND PERSONS WITH POSITIVE HIV DIAGNOSIS. DURING THE YEAR, THE HOMELESS ALLIANCE PROVIDED TEMPORARY RENTAL ASSISTANCE, UTILITY ASSISTANCE, AND CASE MANAGEMENT FOR 96 FAMILIES, 195 CHRONICALLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS, 75 HOMELESS VETERANS AND PERMANENT HOUSING WITH CASE MANAGEMENT TO 25 FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN.
COLLABORATION-THE HOMELESS ALLIANCE FACILITATES COLLABORATION AMONG THE 80+ GOVERNMENT, FAITH-BASED AND NONPROFIT AGENCIES SERVING THE HOMELESS IN OKLAHOMA CITY. THIS FUNCTION IS CRITICAL BECAUSE HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES GENERALLY HAVE MULTIPLE BARRIERS TO SUSTAINED HOUSING AND NO SINGLE AGENCY IS ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL BARRIERS. A HOMELESS INDIVIDUAL OR FAMILY MAY BE STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS, ADDICTION, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, LACK OF EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION, DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITY, GENERATIONAL POVERTY, PHYSICAL DISABILITY OR ILLNESS, AND/OR A CRIMINAL RECORD. VARIOUS GOVERNMENT, FAITH-BASED AND NONPROFIT AGENCIES MUST WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE MULTIPLE BARRIERS AND ENSURE SUSTAINABLE HOUSING AND TREATMENT. THE HOMELESS ALLIANCE OPERATES THE WESTTOWN HOMELESS RESOURCES CAMPUS WHERE PROFESSIONAL STAFF (PHARMACISTS, PHYSICIANS, LAWYERS, SOCIAL WORKERS, CASE MANAGERS, EMPLOYMENT SPECIALISTS) FROM FIFTEEN DIFFERENT AGENCIES COME TOGETHER TO ADDRESS HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES' MULTIPLE BARRIERS TO SUSTAINED HOUSING.
DAY SHELTER-WITH APPROXIMATELY 75% OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS IN OKLAHOMA CITY VISITING, THE DAY SHELTER SERVES AS THE "FRONT DOOR" TO ACCESSING SERVICES FOR THE HOMELESS IN OKLAHOMA CITY. THE DAY SHELTER SERVED 106,000 MEALS AND PROVIDED 16,000 SHOWERS TO OVER 7,000 UNDUPLICATED GUESTS DURING THE YEAR. WE ALSO OFFER ACCESS TO COMPUTERS AND TELEPHONES, A MAILING ADDRESS, A LENDING LIBRARY, A KENNEL AND PET FOOD FOR COMPANION ANIMALS, BARBER SERVICES, AND A HOST OF CLASSES FOR GUEST INCLUDING ART, AA, NA, BIBLE DEVOTIONAL, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS THERAPEUTIC AND EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES. WE PROVIDE A SAFE SPACE WHERE OTHER LOCAL AGENCIES THAT FOCUS ON THE GUEST POPULATION CAN ENGAGE WITH GUESTS INCLUDING VETERAN SERVICES, CIVIL LEGAL ASSISTANCE, STATE BENEFITS (TANF, SNAP, ETC.), PRIMARY HEALTH CARE AS WELL AS COUNSELING AND TREATMENT IN MENTAL HEALTH, CRISIS COUNSELING, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, STI/STD TESTING AND, OF COURSE, HOUSING ASSISTANCE.
