The Homeless Service Provider’s Network (HSPN) outreach/fundraising committee called “Rise-Up for Homes” is sponsoring this year’s New Bedford Connect, a one-day event that brings together, in a single location, a wide variety of community volunteers, vital resources and services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness or who are at risk of becoming homeless.

Direct services will be provide on site, free of charge to all seeking assistance. The goal of New Bedford Connect is to provide easy access to these services and resources that support the transition of those experiencing homelessness in the city off the streets and/or out of shelters and into housing.

Josh Amaral, HSPN Chair and Assistant Executive Director at PACE, spoke with WBSM’s Jim Phillips about this on the Townsquare Sunday podcast at: https://wbsm.com/podcast/popup/?id=610c5dba4a31924bc8462d7e&item=0&theme=light&playertype=player.
