On March 29, 2010, Hennepin County and Minneapolis hosted their ninth Project Homeless Connect event at the Minneapolis Convention Center. This event turned over 160,000 square feet of convention space into a one-stop service center to address the barriers that prevent people from finding lasting employment and securing safe and stable housing. The event brought together over 125 different service agencies providing resources ranging from mental, medical and chemical health services, employment training and placement, comprehensive medical and dental care, haircuts, ID services, and voicemail services. On the day of the event over 400 service providers and 850 volunteers served over 2,100 individuals seeking services. Guests were partnered with volunteers to identify and access key services, explore new services, and eat lunch together.

Our next event will be held on December 13, 2010 at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
