A community can only be as strong as them members who participate and play a role in it's survival. Once again it is time for Project Homeless Connect. For two days, the Samaritan House Administration Center will be converted into a massive base camp for numerous services offered to the community. PHC event seeks to offer local homeless with much needed assistance spanning several categories. Right now, our biggest need is for people to volunteer. If you are interested in helping, please call Sean at 758-5445.
Project Homeless Connect is an international movement to end homelessness which has been replicated in over 200 cities including Missoula and Billings. The purpose is to help eliminate barriers that prevent homeless people from gaining access to aid. Key characteristics of Project Homeless Connect include: Hospitality, Immediacy, Partnership, Community and Excellence.
The Interagency Council on Homelessness says this of the event, "Project Homeless Connect is equal parts welcoming homeless neighbors into the life of the community, changing the way resources are accessed, and achieving quantifiable results for the people experiencing homelessness."
