Homeless Connect Events Returns to Downtown Evansville

Homeless Connect Returns to Southern Indiana in 2026

The annual Homeless Connect of Southwest Indiana is back on Thursday, March 19, at the Old National Events Plaza in downtown Evansville. From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., this one-day event will bring together everything you need under one roof – and as always, it’s completely FREE and open to everyone. You don’t have to be experiencing homelessness to attend – anyone looking for support, information, or just a helping hand is welcome.

Presented by the Commission on Homelessness, Homeless Connect is all about making life easier by connecting people to essential services in one convenient place. Normally, these services might require multiple appointments or online navigation – but at Homeless Connect, you can access everything in person, all in a single day.

What Services Will Be Offered

Over 60 local agencies will be on-site offering a wide range of services, including:

• Housing assistance
• Job search support
• Credit checks
• Veterans services
• Tax preparation
• Education resources
• Birth certificates
• Relationship & recovery programs
• Re-entry services
• Haircuts
• And a free lunch to keep you fueled!

Attendees can also get help with legal advice, public assistance applications, utility bills, foreclosure mitigation, childcare referrals, and much more.
