Homeless Connect

There’s nothing else like it. During our one-day event, anyone in need—not just the homeless, but anyone struggling to access resources—can get help right on the spot.

Homeless Connect isn’t a typical resource fair. Actual services are provided on-site that day. More than 75 vendors participate by invitation only and each is required to provide a direct service at the event.

These services include basic health screenings (including eye and dental exams), haircuts, legal advice, housing and financial assistance, tax preparation, foreclosure mitigation, re-entry services, veterans services, childcare referrals, parent resources, public assistance applications, utility bill consultation, birth certificates, employment services, recovery groups, internet access, education services and more.

Homeless Connect is hosted by the Commission on Homeless with the help of many sponsors. Our event is self-funded, so we rely heavily on the generosity of these sponsors, along with public donations through the commission’s new Dignity Fund.

Make plans to attend on Thursday, April 3, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (CDT) in the Old National Events Plaza, located at 715 Locust Street in downtown Evansville. Parking is available in the large lot across 9th Street.

All attendees will receive a map to show the location of specific organizations at Homeless Connect. Click here for an advanced look at the map.
