Project Homeless Connect

Project Homeless Connect is a one-day, one-stop event to provide people experiencing homelessness with access to a broad range of services, including medical and foot care, legal services, employment assistance, pet care, food, shoes and haircuts. _NPS5663_1_1The event also helps participants contact long lost family members, obtain identification and fill out applications for housing opportunities. 

In December 2009, a collaboration of more than 60 service providers and 700 volunteers provided 9,500 services to at least 1,558 homeless individuals and families. PHC makes a powerful impact on homeless people’s lives by providing a wide range of assistance in one location, and by the outpouring of respect and hospitality from service providers and volunteers.

This year's PHC is scheduled for Wednesday, December 8, 2010, at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds.  We hope you will be a part of this great event.  Please contact Mary Beth Ritchie at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
