Project Homeless Connect - Nashville

The Metropolitan Homelessness Commission in Nashville will once again host Project Homeless Connect. This event will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. December 2, at The Municipal Auditorium.

Project Homeless Connect brings together a comprehensive array of services for the homeless at one convenient location. Homeless people, and those at risk of becoming homeless, will be able to receive much-needed help with things like: housing and job applications; official State I. D.s required for employment; medical, dental, eye, and foot care; haircuts; clothing; and more.

According to the March 2009 issue of the Homeless Commission's newsletter, during its previous Project Homeless Connect 1,078 participants received over 5,500 services. Twenty-nine chronically homeless people began the process of obtaining housing, with a total of 68 housing units being pledged for homeless people by area service providers. A total of 110 people beginning the screening process for housing, and 300 people applied for federally subsidized Section 8 housing.
