Crisis House Hosts the San Diego East County Event Annually
Date and Time:
Friday May 24, 2024
10:00AM – 2:00PM PDT
Homelessness occurs across the United States in all major cities. Project Homeless Connect began in 2004 in San Francisco to support the national initiative to end chronic homelessness. Project Homeless Connect now occurs across the United States in all major cities. This event brings necessary services to the homeless men, women, and families in our community in one location, on one day. Each year, more than 35 service providers, non-profit groups, congregations, and government agencies attend and 175 homeless people participate.
This comprehensive resource fair provides: connections to housing, DMV/California Identification and social security vouchers, employment, haircuts, hygiene kits, veterans assistance, Medi-cal/CalFresh enrollment personal storage, legal aid, clothing, mobile medical clinic, mental health counseling, pastoral care, substance abuse and mental health services, pet sitting, and more.
Crisis House Goals
Our goal is to continue to host this important, life-changing event and we are asking for your support to ensure its longevity. Join the Project and ensure our community helps:
Connect the homeless to services that will allow them to become permanently housed.
Provide resources and referrals to various health and social services.
Partner with corporations, congregations, civic clubs, individuals, government, and nonprofits to help individuals in need.
Engage community volunteers.
Expand awareness of homelessness and the needs of the homeless.
