San Diego Plans Its Own Homeless Connect Day

Like Los Angeles and a dozen other cities throughout the country, San Diego will also be hosting their own version of Project Homeless Connect Day this Thursday.

San Diego will have their event at one of their Winter Shelter programs. They will try to connect each of the shelter residents with services. Here's an article on their event.

Here in Los Angeles, we will have our version, called: Project Y!MBY Connect Day (Yes! In My Backyard). We will have it in Hollywood. Our goal will be to connect at least 300 people who are currently living on the streets of greater Hollywood with services and housing.

The community leaders who will be at this event are: Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa, L.A. County Supervisor Yaroslavsky, West Hollywood Mayor Land, L.A. Councilmember LaBonge, and federal Interagency Council on Homelessness Director Mangano. The honorary Hollywood Mayor Johnny Grant will be there as the co-event chair.

Join us for the volunteer rally at 8:30 AM this Thursday, December 8th at 815 North El Centro in Hollywood.
