Homeless Connect is an initiative of the Brisbane City Council (Australia) to put over 300 homeless persons in contact with various service providers (e.g., housing, medical, legal). This comprehensive one-day effort, staged in City Hall, also links service providers within the homelessness sector.  Volunteering Queensland has twice recruited and trained over 200 volunteers to provide one-to-one support to the homeless participants to ensure the success of the day in 2006 and 2007.  This article explains how.
