Now in it's 7th event, PHCKC connects participants with difficult-to-obtain services that would otherwise take months to secure, including health and medical care, identification procurement, food and nutrition benefits, employment and housing assistance, legal aid and more. This year's event will take place on Tuesday, September 21 at Hope Faith Homeless Assistance Campus. More information can be found at www.projecthomelessconnectkc.com.
