Connecting Homeless People To Services

The City of San Francisco has become known for their Project Homeless Connect. This is sponsored by the city’s mayor who brings hundreds of volunteers to the city’s civic center where they help homeless people connect to services. Here is a link about the SF day.

This is a bi-monthly event. The most recent event occurred yesterday and helped over 1,000 homeless people. Two of PATH’s staff were at the San Francisco event because PATH is working with the City and County of Los Angeles to put on our own Connect day, called “Project Y!MBY Day.” The L.A. version will occur in Hollywood on December 8th. Hollywood's "honorary" mayor, Johnny Grant, is the honorary chair of the event.

The L.A. message is that we help connect homeless people into services every day, not just one day every other month.

Stay tuned to hear more about this day…
