Dear Provider:

I just wanted to personally thank you again for your cooperation in the Northwest Arkansas Point-in-Time Homeless Census 2007. It was an eye-opening experience for many of us to both carefully count and inventory the needs of homeless adults and children throughout Washington and Benton counties. Your assistance in allowing us to collect important information on your clients and guests was a critical element of the success of the census. The identified needs and gaps in service delivery will be available to you soon to refer to and use in developing your own programming plans in the future.

In addition, thank you for the detailed information contained in this directory of homeless service providers for Northwest Arkansas. This information is both up-to-date and as complete as we could make it by contacting those agencies dealing directly with the homeless. We are grateful to all that you do personally and that your organization does to improve the quality of life by assisting homeless persons throughout Northwest Arkansas.

I hope that you find the information contained in this directory useful. We hope that it is useful not only in directly serving your guests/clients, but also in networking with other agencies that serve the homeless. The intent of this directory was to make available to you a single document that could be used in working with your homeless clients. We believe that the information is current and relevant to the network of homeless service providers in NWA. Many will benefit from your contribution to this directory.

I look forward to working with you in the future; please accept this directory as our gift to you for your cooperation. If you have any questions or need more information on the results of the census or the detailed survey of the homeless, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Kevin Fitzpatrick Professor & Jones Chair Department of Sociology University of Arkansas
