United Way of Lane County

Basic Needs

Changing community conditions can only happen if people’s basic needs are being met. Food, clothing, shelter, safety and healthcare services are funded by United Way as a foundation for a better future for all.  Our online directory of services, www.211Lane.org, offers guidance to Lane County agencies that provide a range of basic needs.

PROJECT HOMELESS CONNECT 

March 18, 2010

Project Homeless Connect (PHC) is a one-day, “one-stop shop” event serving the homeless or near-homeless people of Lane County, Oregon.  This includes people who are in unsafe housing; those are living with a friend or family member; or people living in a car or hotel.  PHC is held at the Lane Events Center in Eugene and connects people with essential services such as housing, employment, government benefits, veteran’s benefits, and legal services. It also helps people meet their basic needs by providing a hot meal, access to medical and dental check-ups; and many other services.
