Arlington's next State of the Homeless address has been slated for April 3, and the public is called to join forces—digitally or in-person—to discuss current homelessness issues plaguing the community. The Tarrant County Homeless Coalition is spearheading the session at the Tarrant County Sub-Courthouse in Arlington, located at 700 E. Abram St., scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m., as per the City of Arlington, Texas.

The core of the meeting will highlight findings from the January 2024 Point in Time Count, providing the latest data and trends in local homelessness—a snapshot essential for policy formulation and resource allocation. The Coalition will relay these insights to the attendees, revealing the challenges faced and the progress made in the ongoing battle against homelessness.

The event also caters to a digital audience, allowing wider participation from community members unable or unwilling to attend physically. In an increasingly interconnected world, the Coalition recognizes the power of virtual engagement to foster greater communal support. What's at stake is not just a matter of numbers, but the very lives of individuals in need. By shining a light on those working tirelessly to support the homeless, the meeting aims to inspire more citizens to get involved. It's a chance to see the faces behind the fight against homelessness and learn how one can contribute to the solutions. To miss such an opportunity is to turn a blind eye to the plight of neighbors without shelter, a circumstance that has no place in any community that claims itself compassionate or united.
