Project Homeless Connect . . . Connections That Make A Real Difference in Lives
|
A Snapshot of the Day . . .
Over 750 guests served. 360 volunteers! - Child Care - A clothing boutique (for free, of course!) - DMV Services - Full service at our "Cafe" - Pet care and pet sitting services - Personal belongings check-in - Bussing to all regions of the County - Dental check-ups - Mobile HIV/STI bus - Haircuts |
What is it? The idea is simple: Connect services to the people that need them. Project Homeless Connect (PHC), brings much needed services together in one place on one day to make it easy for homeless people to get help and resources. PHC brings together members from the community, service providers, businesses and government to address homelessness in our region. The goal of the day is to provide basic needs and services and to help people get off the streets. |

What is the event like? Think of a street fair with a myriad of booths on either side of the street. Now imagine a large venue, such as Golden Hall at the Civic Center, filled with booths offering food, vaccinations, jobs and legal advice...all for free, all on one day and all in one place. That's Project Homeless Connect. |
