It is truly an honor to sit around the table with this group to work together on how we can best serve the unhoused in our community.

Thankful for these opportunities!

Last week we took an important step forward for our community😊

The Homeless Care Council of NW Alabama was proud to host the first “working meeting” of the newly formed Homeless Resource Alliance. This group brings together dedicated homeless service providers from across our community with one shared goal: stronger collaboration for better outcomes.

As the Lead Agency for our local Continuum of Care, the HCCNWAL is responsible for coordinating a comprehensive, community-wide response to homelessness. Forming the Homeless Resource Alliance is a natural extension of that work- creating a structured space for providers to communicate, align efforts, and strengthen our system of care….together.

It is built on intentional partnerships and meaningful networking, so we can serve effectively. When providers communicate and coordinate well, individuals and families are less likely to fall through the cracks.

At our first “working meeting”, we rolled up our sleeves and and began developing clear guidelines and a collaborative workflow for homeless providers.

We are grateful for every agency and leader who showed up ready to partner and strengthen our community! This is what collaboration looks like- and we’re just getting started 😀
