2021 Hunter Homeless Connect Community Directory 2 About Hunter Homeless Connect
Hunter Homeless Connect is a volunteer, not for profit organisation whose mission is to connect vulnerable members of our community with vital services and support. Connections and access to support are facilitated through our annual Hunter Homeless Connect Day event, our Connecting the Hunter program and this Community Services Directory.
From humble beginnings in 2009, Hunter Homeless Connect was founded with an event coordinated by a small group of passionate individuals in the community, who wanted to make a difference to the lives of people experiencing homelessness. Over the years, Hunter Homeless Connect Day has grown and in 2019, on its tenth anniversary, we experienced our largest attendance on record with over 2000 people on the ground accessing a one-stop- shop of human and community services, including free haircuts, massages, immunisations, birth certificates, bedding, phone cards, food, clothing and much more.
Year after year, the event is delivered by a ‘community coalition’ of government and non-government services and volunteers, with in-kind and financial support from organisations, community partners and individuals across the Hunter.
Our mission was further enhanced in 2019 after securing a $46,000.00 investment grant from Community Sector Banking for the roll out of the Connecting the Hunter program via the employment of a part-time coordinator, for one year. The program is an extension of Hunter Homeless Connect Day, that sees businesses in the community opening their doors to people experiencing homelessness, all year round.
It provides a dignified and practical way for people experiencing homelessness, to identify inclusive and welcoming environments, have access to services and connection to members of the community who would like to donate their goods, facilities and services, without judgment.
In 2020, we were forced to postpone our annual event as a result of the pandemic, but that didn’t stop us continuing to deliver on our mission to connect people with support and services. We revised our Community Connections Directory (that had previously only been printed for and distributed at the event) and obtained funding to print 6,000 hard copies of a COVID-19 version and distributed it to support services, small businesses and government organisations in the wider community. This has now become an up-to-date, online resource available to all.
