Welcome to the Minneapolis/Hennepin County Project Homeless Connect website. Project Homeless Connect, based on a nationally implemented best practice, is a one-stop-shop of comprehensive support services for people experiencing homelessness.

On December 7th, 2009, Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis hosted the eighth Project Homeless Connect (PHC), held at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Transforming more than 160,000 square feet of convention space into a one-stop service center, the event directly addressed the numerous and complex barriers that prevent homeless individuals from finding lasting employment and securing safe, stable housing. PHC united over 120 separate service agencies, providing wraparound services that included mental and chemical health care, employment training and placement, comprehensive medical and dental care, haircuts, ID assistance, and voicemail services. Throughout the day, over 400 service providers and 1,300 volunteers helped more than 1,600 individuals looking for services. Guests were partnered with volunteers to identify and access necessary services, explore previously unused benefits, and eat lunch together.

Our next Project Homeless Connect will be held on Monday, March, 29, 2010 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Click here for more information ->
