Project Homeless Connect
Ending homelessness, one person at a time. On May 23, 2011, nearly 1,000 volunteers and 500 service providers gathered to serve people experiencing homelessness at the Minneapolis/Hennepin County Project Homeless Connect. This event is a one-stop shop model designed to provide support services in a central location to people experiencing homelessness. Services range from housing, employment, and medical care to benefits, legal assistance, ID cards, and haircuts. At the event, more than 2,000 guests were partnered with volunteers to identify and access the key services needed to help eliminate barriers to stability. The next event will be held on Monday, December 12, 2011. To volunteer or learn more, please visit www.homelessconnectminneapolis.org.
