Based on the national model of Project Homeless Connect, this event seeks to deepen the community understanding of the circumstances surrounding homelessness and poverty in their region.  As our economy takes a downturn, the need for an event to provide basic need medical and dental care, housing advice, and other services can be all the difference to a struggling family.
