Thank you so much to City Care and all the partners, volunteers and staff that helped make our recent resource fair a success!

Throughout the day, we heard a lot of gratitude from people who were able to access services like showers and laundry, haircuts, clothing, meals, healthcare resources, benefits navigation, and more — all in one place! We even had same-day healthcare services, like health screenings, wound care, and skin checks, which are particularly important for people getting a lot of sun exposure.

Events like this are a reminder of how impactful collaboration can be. When we all work together, we're able to remove barriers and connect our neighbors with resources that support health, dignity, and stability. We're proud that our WestTown Resource Campus can be a place where these partnerships and connections happen.

Save the Date! In two weeks, we’ll be hosting our next Fresh stART show at our WestTown Resource Center.

Our lobby will transform into a gallery featuring creative, thoughtful, and one-of-a-kind artwork made by Day Shelter guests right here on our campus. Every piece is available for purchase, and artists receive proceeds from the sale of their work. When you buy a piece of art, you’re putting money directly in their pockets while helping build confidence.

Our Fresh start program happens twice a week at our Day Shelter. It's an open-studio art program designed to provide people experiencing and transitioning out of homelessness with a supportive environment for self-expression.

You can support Fresh stART by purchasing art at our June 4 show or by donating art supplies. Learn more at homelessalliance.org/donate-items.

Thanks to Aetna Better Health of Oklahoma for donating hygiene kits for our clients!

Our outreach team and Day Shelter staff have already passed out many of these kits to clients like Nika. By meeting basic needs first, we can help folks move out of crisis mode and towards stability.

Community partnerships play an important role in helping us serve our neighbors, and we’re grateful to Aetna Better Health of Oklahoma for investing in our mission.

Summer is nearly here, and the temps are already warming up!

As we prepare for a hot Oklahoma summer, we want to make sure our clients have access to the supplies they need to stay cool and safe. Our Day Shelter is open daily from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's safe place to get out of the heat, take a shower, get food and water, and receive other supplies to beat the heat.

On average, we see about 320 people each day, so we could use your help with stocking up! Please consider donating items on this list or hosting a donation drive with your office, family, friends, or faith community. We also have an Amazon Wishlist where you can shop for items and have them directly shipped to us. Monetary donations are also welcome and can be made online. That allow us to purchase the items we need at a lower cost than the general public.

Visit homelessalliance.org/donate-items for more information on how to make donations. Thank you for helping us keep our neighbors safe!

1,867 people were experiencing homelessness during this year’s Point in Time Count on Jan. 23. Results from the 2026 PIT Count were shared by Key to Home OKC on May 7 during the city’s State of Homelessness event. The data is incredibly useful, but we encourage you to keep in mind that each number represents a human being with hobbies, ambitions, friends, and families. Homelessness is an experience, not an identity.

The PIT Count is an annual, one-day census of people experiencing homelessness. It’s meant to represent just a snapshot of the scope of homelessness in our community. This count helps our community gather vital data about homelessness in OKC to identify trends and gaps in services, and it helps the city receive and disburse federal funding for various homelessness programs.

Thefull report can be found at okc.gov/Government/Administration/Key-to-Home-Partnership/Learn-More/Reports/Point-In-Time.

Stay tuned for the PIT Count issue of the Curbside Chronicle for more in-depth reporting and to meet some of the individuals who make up the 1,867 figure.

Homeless Alliance exists to open doors to hope, housing, and stability for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. We envision an Oklahoma City where everyone belongs, everyone is housed, and any experience of homelessness is rare, brief, and met with compassion.

Meet David Horton, a local artist that's competing to be named "The People's Artist" and win $25,000.

But he needs your help to make that happen!

Vote for David to win at peoplesartist.org/david-horton. Voting for this round ends May 14, and you can vote once for free each day!

Welcome home, Nita & Mia!

After nearly four years of experiencing homelessness, Nita and her daughter Mia are finally back in a home filled with routines they weren’t sure they’d ever get back. Nita and Mia spent years sleeping in their car, on couches, and in an overnight shelter after an unexpected eviction.

But with help from their Homeless Alliance case manager, they found a house of their own in December.

Since moving in, the change in their lives has been significant. Mia is now thriving in school and planning her first ever sleepover birthday party. Nita is adjusting to the newfound stability and reconnecting with her crafting hobby. Their relationship is stronger than ever, and the security of their housing has given them peace of mind they haven't had in years.

Ending homelessness takes partnership - between nonprofits, government programs, and neighbors like you! Your donation helps us cover move-in expenses like utility initiation fees ($22.50) and deposits ($145 to 300) as well as ongoing case management and supports to help families like Nita's stay healthy, happy, and stably housed. Last year, the Homeless Alliance served 1,582 individuals through our housing programs. Give now to help us serve more! https://homelessalliance-bloom.kindful.com/?campaign=1355867
