Project Homeless Connect, the one-day communitywide effort to link homeless individuals with practical services and resources, announced that its kick-off event will be held on Tuesday, February 23 from 5:00 to 6:30 PM at Museum of Art and History. The event is free, wine and light refreshments will be served. Additionally, a small silent auction will be held to raise funds for the Annual Project Homeless Connect event.
At the 2010 and 2011 Project Homeless Connect events, approximately 1000 individuals attended and received dozens of valuable and practical services including connections to housing, shelter, employment, health care, and treatment resources designed to help people take steps to move out of homelessness. The events also linked 400 community volunteers with this effort and created new connections between the homeless and housed communities.
