    • Abstract:
      Project Homeless Connect (PHC) is a national model designed to address the needs of individuals and families facing homelessness. This research-based approach to reducing homelessness is consistent with social work values and principles including the profession's commitment to social justice. PHC brings together individuals experiencing homelessness and service providers in one central location for a full day devoted to innovative resource delivery and service linkage. Using a service-learning approach augmented by scaffolding of student responsibilities produces an innovative service-learning strategy combining collaborative practice in the community and university contexts to increase PHC model effectiveness and achieve maximum community impact.
