Felicia Jackson, the executive director of the Alabama Rural Coalition for the Homeless (ARCH), says the need to tackle the homelessness issue is urgent right now.
“It is going to be important for us to collaborate with other service agencies and for us to really come to the table and be able to speak to the broader issue of homelessness,” Jackson said about the connection between ARCH and agencies in the Wiregrass who serve the homeless.
The agency hopes with the help of local groups, next year’s homeless count will include more accurate data from rural communities. Organizations like the L.A. Dream Center in Barbour County voiced concerns about issues they face, which forces them to resort to temporary housing like hotels. The Dream Center is one agency working closely with ARCH to get government funding from Housing and Urban Development for a new project called the Wiregrass Housing Connection.
