Project Homeless Connect

This event is free and held each year. It is sponsored by the Chesapeake Coalition for the Homeless and supported by a variety of other agencies.  The purpose of this one-day event is to embrace Chesapeake’s less fortunate homeless individuals and families and provide them with opportunities for medical and dental services, employment assistance, food stamps and Medicaid eligibility, housing and a variety of other services that we usually take for granted. Giveaways of basic necessities include items such as toiletries and personal hygiene items. A hot meal, snacks, day care and free transportation to the site may be provided throughout the day.

Project Homeless Connect evolved from the Chesapeake Coalition for the Homeless Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness, which calls for efforts by the entire community, including government, faith-based, private and nonprofit organizations, and local businesses, to partner and find solutions to end homelessness.

If you would like to make a donation, volunteer or request more information about the event, contact Carsheena Montgomery at cmontgomery@cityofhcesapeake.net for more information.
