Project Homeless Connect (PHC) is a one-day, one-stop event linking people experiencing-or at risk of experiencing- homelessness with a broad range of services. Guests are offered assistance with housing, employment, health and dental care, mental health care, veterans' benefits, social service benefits, legal services, and more. They also receive lunch and personal care gift bags, and are offered haircuts and showers.

This year's event will be held on Thursday, October 8th from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at Hargraves Community Center in Chapel Hill.

Last years event served 202 guests (an increase of over 50% from the previous year), nearly 50 agencies provided services, over 70 businesses and community members donated goods and services, and nearly 300 volunteers participated!

Partners include social service providers, local governments, businesses, UNC-CH students and departments, faith-based groups, civic organizations, Triangle United Way, and many Orange County community members.
