Our community believes that the nearly 1800 people who spent last night homeless in Pierce County deserve better.
What a Difference a Day Makes
On any given night in Pierce County nearly 1800 people experience homelessness. This number includes babies, children, teens, and adults. They are victims of domestic violence, people with disabilities, veterans, and senior citizens.
Pierce County residents want better lives for their neighbors. We believe that hard working families should be able to go home to a safe, warm place. We believe that our veterans deserve the security of a place to live. We believe our children should know where they will sleep tonight.
Project Homeless Connect provides a starting place on the journey back to safety, stability, health, and hope. Onsite services address the needs that contribute to homelessness by providing basic medical and dental care, access to education, employment and benefits systems, mental health and chemical dependency assessments, flu shots, haircuts, and much more – all under one roof!
Because Project Homeless Connect is volunteer-driven, it also offers an amazing opportunity for community involvement and human connection. Come and help make Pierce County a better place to live – for all its residents!
On the morning of October 15, 2008 at more than two miles away from the Tacoma Dome groups of cold and wet homeless people walked towards the comfort that Pierce County Homeless Connect might bring them.
Please, take a look at our 2008 Gallery of images to experience Project Homeless Connect.
