We want to thank our community partners and volunteer supporters of PHC, and ask you to please keep our area homeless in your prayers. A new event date will be announced once it is established. Again, thank you and have a blessed Holiday Season.

Due to Covid-19, Project Homeless Connect (PHC) has been postponed at this time. It is Housing First, Inc.’s hope that this important community event, held annually to provide much needed services and support to the homeless, may be rescheduled for later in the spring of 2021.
