Indy Homeless Connect
On March 23, 2010, from 9am-4pm, CHIP hosted the fifth annual Indy Homeless Connect (IHC) at the Indiana Convention Center. Made possible by over 50 service providers, municipal agencies, and the City of Indianapolis, the event offered much needed services, support and care to over 1,065 homeless individuals, including almost 100 children, from the Indianapolis area.
Homeless neighbors were able to access an array of services including housing, employment, benefits and identification, legal aid, mental health, acute medical care, and dental and vision screenings. In addition to these vital services, there were extra “add-on” services available including: haircuts, massages, free phone calls to friends and family, email access, free book distribution, lunch, a take-a-way bag with hygiene items, and a Spiritual Garden for meditation or prayer.
Indy Homeless Connect was successful in helping many of our neighbors to link with needed services with the help of 675 volunteers.
