Homeless in Benton and Washington counties

The biennial collection of statistics on the homeless in Northwest Arkansas is taking place during a 24-hour period January 31 and February 1 in more that 20 locations. A large number were documented at the Thursday Community Meal program at Central United Methodist Church in Fayetteville. University of Arkansas professor Kevin Fitzpatrick, with the Community and Family Institute, organized a group of volunteers to conduct this year's count.
