Project Homeless Connect

Each January, PHC begins with the Point in Time Count, coordinated by Council for the Homeless staff and dozens of dedicated volunteers who head out across the county before sunrise to count as many unhoused community members as possible.

Following the count, guests are welcomed to a centralized, day-long Project Homeless Connect event focused on meeting immediate needs in one welcoming space. Volunteers, service providers, and community partners come together to offer essential, no-cost services, including:

Nutritious meals
Eye exams
Foot and wound care
Clothing and hygiene supplies
Behavioral health support
Housing and shelter resources
Assistance enrolling in public benefits
Pet care

All services are provided on-site, with dignity and care.

Looking Ahead to Project Homeless Connect 2027

Planning for Project Homeless Connect 2027 will begin this fall. Please check back for updates and opportunities to participate.

If you are interested in offering services, volunteering, or learning more, contact Maggie Bernetich, Annual Giving and Events Manager, at mbernetich@councilforthehomeless.org

Please note: Space is limited. Priority is given to partners who provide same-day services, have participated in past events, or offer services not already represented.

Project Homeless Connect is about meeting people where they are and removing barriers to care. By bringing a comprehensive array of services together in one place, we are able to connect people to immediate help while strengthening pathways toward stability and housing.
