Project Homeless Connect (PHC) brings together essential services at the area’s largest resource fair to meet the needs of our neighbors who are experiencing homelessness. By eliminating barriers that keep them from breaking free of the cycle of homelessness, they’re winning.
United Way NCA brings together local service providers from medical, to housing, to employment and much more – serving nearly 1100 PHC participants to date.
Volunteer Role:
Project Homeless Connect (PHC) Buddies are the first point of contact for the PHC participants to engage and make them feel welcome at the event. This role involves direct contact with people experiencing homelessness as you guide your PHC participant from check-in to receive necessary services through the day.
We match each PHC participant with a volunteer who guides him or her through the event. In one day, PHC participants gain access to services that might otherwise take months to secure.
This year, we’re expecting 800 participants throughout the day who will need these critical resources.
