The National Alliance to End Homelessness released a report in 2020 designed to give an overview of the state of homelessness in the United Stated. While Covid-19 has had a profound effect on the homeless population, an effect that has yet to be fully quantified, the data from the 2020 report gives us an understanding of the needs affecting our homeless friends.

February in Northeast Ohio is typically long, dark and very difficult for a wide range of people living under the bitter cold. Our homeless friends were especially affected this year with the bitter cold temperatures mid month. Sadly, a few of our friends passed on this winter. Here’s a quick update for you as you pray and support. Thank you for supporting homeless ministry in Akron and beyond
