project homeless connect
Project Homeless Connect is an annual day of services held in one place with one goal: to break down the barriers to safe, decent, affordable housing. In partnership with the City of Birmingham, the United Way of Central Alabama, and Hands On Birmingham, One Roof collaborates with over 60 agencies to offer services ranging from legal services to state ID cards to medical care, among many others. Providing these services in one place, at no cost to PHC guests, makes them much more accessible to the men, women, and children experiencing homelessness in greater Birmingham.
The Central Alabama WOC Nurses' Association participates to provide foot care services at this event.

The Hope Lodge
The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers. More than just a roof over their heads, it's a nurturing community that helps patients access the care they need. Each Hope Lodge community offers a supportive, homelike environment where guests can share a meal, join in the evening's activities, or unwind in their own private room. Patients staying at a Hope Lodge must be in active cancer treatment, and permanently reside more than 40 miles or one hour away from their cancer treatment center. Each patient must be accompanied by a caregiver
