Happy Juneteenth from the Homeless Alliance!

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Juneteenth marks an important moment in our nation's history and serves as a reminder that freedom and opportunity should be accessible to all. Today, we celebrate Juneteenth and honor the ongoing work of building a stronger, more equitable community for everyone.

The race for royalty is officially on! 👑

Meet the six community leaders making up the 2026 HOMECOMING Court. Between now and August 15, they'll be helping us raise vital funds to support housing, shelter, and services for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

The two court members who raise the most will be crowned Homecoming Royalty during HOMECOMING: Starry Night, our high school dance-themed fundraiser for adults featuring music, dancing, great food, and plenty of nostalgic fun.

Want to support your favorite candidate? Each court member has a unique code that gets you $10 off your ticket, and every ticket purchased with their code helps them climb the leaderboard. If you can't make it to Homecoming, you can still support them by making a donation in their name.

Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor and the Arnall Family Foundation, every dollar will be matched up to $200,000, doubling the impact of your support!

Learn more and get tickets at homelessalliance.org/homecoming. Don't wait! We're offering an early bird ticket discount until July 6th.

Happy Pride Month!

The vision that guides our work every day is an Oklahoma City where everyone belongs, everyone is housed, and any experience of homelessness is rare, brief, and met with compassion.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm our belief that everyone deserves a place to call home.

Congratulations, Sarah!

When Sarah first came to the Homeless Alliance, she arrived with two young children and nowhere else to turn.

She was fleeing domestic violence, navigating homelessness, and caring for her children, one of whom who had significant medical needs. Sarah's daughter, Allison, was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate and recently underwent her 25th surgery.

“All I had were my kids, my faith, and the clothes on my back,” she said. “The Homeless Alliance was a blessing.”

For years, Sarah faced many more challenges, including her own health issues. Through it all, she says one thing made the biggest difference: knowing she wasn’t alone.

“I don’t really have any family,” she says. “You guys have been there for me.”

Since connecting with case management, Sarah has moved into stable housing, welcomed her third child, and built a safer future for her family. Now, she’s preparing to “graduate” from the housing program that helped her get there, and she says she’s more self-sufficient than ever.

“Nobody turned their backs or ran away when it got hard,” she says. “Knowing that I could call my case manager made me feel supported and gave me hope.”

Today, Sarah encourages others who are experiencing homelessness and domestic violence and connecting them to resources whenever she can.

“A lot of people don’t know how to get help, but nobody deserves to be stuck,” she says. “I tell them, ‘If I can do it, you can do it too.’”

Stories like Sarah's are possible because of a community of supporters like you that believes everyone deserves stability, safety, and a place to call home. Thank you for your support!

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: https://a.co/0d4sTIKd
