The College of Design was a partner in a Project Homeless Connect Minneapolis/Hennepin event that took place at the Minneapolis Convention Center on October 1.

Several CDes employees participated in the event: Lori Gilbertson (Student Services), Char Klarquist (DHA), and Virajita Singh (CSBR).

Project organizers estimate the event served 1,800 people. The event served as a one-stop shopping model for delivering services to the homeless including housing, employment, medical care, and mental health care.
