Homeless Connect of SW Indiana Offers Free Services to Those in Need

The 16th annual Homeless Connect of Southwest Indiana is scheduled for Thursday, March 21, 2024, from 9 am to 2 pm at the Old National Events Plaza in downtown Evansville.

Homeless Connect is a one-day event that links individuals struggling to get resources with direct access to essential services. It is once again presented by the Commission on Homelessness, which is a joint city-county initiative to end and prevent homelessness in Evansville and Vanderburgh County. The event is FREE and open to anyone - you do NOT have to be homeless to attend.

More than 60 local agencies will be on hand at this year's event, providing free on-site services that are normally only available online or in their offices. At Homeless Connect, everything will be available right there under one roof. Those services include the following...

• Housing
• Legal Advice
• Credit Checks
• Birth certificate
• Job-Finding help
• Tax Preparation
• Parent resources
• Veterans services
• Health screenings
• Education services
• Childcare referrals
• Financial assistance
• Relationship resources
• Foreclosure mitigation
• Public assistance applications
• Utility bill consultation
• Re-entry services
• Recovery groups
