| Project Homeless Connect (PHC) is a one-day, one-stop event linking people experiencing-or at risk of experiencing- homelessness with a broad range of services such as housing, employment, health and dental care, mental health care, veterans' benefits, social service benefits, legal services, and more. They also receive lunch and personal care gift bags, and are offered haircuts and showers.
This years event will be held on Thursday, October 8th from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at Hargraves Community Center in Chapel Hill.
