Project Homeless Connect oversees multiple severe weather and emergency shelters, has a team of street outreach workers to engage with those that are unsheltered, and operates a day center all in addition to their one-day events.
Our Day Center serves a diverse group of guests by providing a safe space during the day. By providing access to computers, charging stations, laundry, showers, and food we can connect with guests and build trust and relationships which allows us to assist with critical resources they may otherwise not have access to. We believe that walking alongside our guests while helping them become self-sufficient is key to our success and their success.
