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.
