"Tempe Project Homeless Connect" will be conducted on July 25th, 2008. This will be the 7th time Tempe has participated in this event.
Project Homeless Connect started in San Francisco and has been duplicated in many communities with successful results. The goal is to bring together diverse entities from the community for one day under one roof to provide services to homeless individuals and families. Services must be immediately available, so providers do not merely give appointments or referrals for the future. Homeless guests are treated with respect and hospitality; a volunteer is paired with each guest who can assist as they access available services.
At each previous event, an average of 55 volunteers served an average of 115 homeless individuals and families.
