SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The Ozarks Alliance to End Homelessness (OAEH) is encouraging local residents to help with its future plans by taking a community survey.
The approximately 15-minute survey will serve as an important guide for OAEH to craft its 2026-2030 strategic plan by helping them decide how to prioritize funds and set future goals.
The Community Partnership of the Ozarks (CPO) says OAEH serves as its Continuum of Care.

The group generally covers Greene, Christian and Webster counties.
