Volunteer with Project Homeless Connect and make a difference in the life of an individual experiencing homelessness! Project Homeless Connect brings together over 40 agencies and 500 volunteers to connect chronically homeless adults to health care, IDs, employment skills, housing resources, and more in one location on one day. Last year, over 500 volunteers connected nearly 700 individuals in housing crisis with need services.

Project Homeless Connect matches clients with volunteers in a one-of-a-kind partnership to assist chronically homeless adults connect to as many on-site services as possible in one day. To do this more than 40 service providers move their operations to a single location for a day, providing dedicated healthcare, dental and vision screenings, mental health interviews, case management, social security applications, identification services, employment resources (including for veterans), shelter and housing assessments, and much more. Volunteers are trained to assist clients navigate the array of services based upon priorities established by the client. The goal for the event, and its high level of volunteer involvement, is to eliminate some of the barriers people experience as they seek to access the very services that might help them start the return journey to stable lives.
