The State of Homelessness Address aims to provide a deeper understanding of homelessness in Oklahoma City and the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness while highlighting collaborative initiatives designed to provide solutions. Speakers include representatives from City leadership, including Mayor David Holt, and staff from the Key to Home Partnership management team.
