Who We Support
Winter Shelter Construction and Operations
Homeless Alliance operates the community’s only general use day shelter; manages OKC, Norman, and rural Oklahoma’s Homeless Management Information System; provides housing programs; and facilitates close collaboration among the government, faith-based, and nonprofit agencies addressing homelessness in OKC. They also operate four social enterprises, each providing employment, job skills training, income and case management to people experiencing homelessness and people at risk of homelessness. In November 2023, Homeless Alliance opened a 300-bed winter night shelter. The financial costs to renovate and operate the shelter were higher than the agency expected. This funding fills that financial gap.
