NPR - Project Homeless Connect

"Every year since 2007, a raft of 25 or so volunteers has organized Project Homeless Connect — a one-day, one-stop service event. People living on Durham's streets have access to dozens of agencies in one place. They can: apply for housing assistance, learn of social services, explore veterans' benefits and more. The day also brings together folks from businesses, local government and churches. The event is not political, not divisive. It is love on display."
