Chesapeake Project Homeless Connect

Chesapeake joined the list of cities across the nation who have adopted the Project Homeless Connect Program with the first Chesapeake Family Project Homeless Connect held April 24, 2008.

Project Homeless Connect -

Not a service fair . . .

Not an information and referral event . . .

An innovation.   A One-Day *consumer-focused* One-Stop

The Chesapeake Family Project Homeless Connect was organized by the Chesapeake Coalition to End Homlessness to help lower barriers between less fortunate families and the services they need.

Project Homeless Connect is equal parts welcoming homeless neighbors into the life of the community, changing the way resources are accessed, and achieving quantifiable results for people experiencing homelessness. 

Chesapeake Coalition for the Homeless, of which the United Way of South Hampton Roads is a part, is made up of non-profit organizations, churches, and Federal, State, and Local government departments interested in ending homelessness.

Adults were welcome to bring their children to the family-focused event, who were occupied in an activity room stocked with snacks and balloon animals while their parents connected with services. 

In addition to connecting with affordable child care, the services available included the Virginia Employment Commission, housing, medical screening, vision screening, Veterans Association, Social Security Administration, Legal Aid, food, food stamps application.

To request more information about the event, contact visit www.cityofchesapeake.net/services/depart/neighborhood for more information.
