This Post is Coming From Inside the Event!

Get it? Like the phone call from inside the house in When a Stranger Calls?

Carol Kane gets it.

Anyways, yes, I am writing this from an event. We're at another Project Homeless Connect event in Akron and oh my goodness gracious is this amazing. We're sharing a room with the Social Security Administration and that is fantastic. We get a lot of questions about Social Security and having them in the same room really puts us ahead of the game.

More bonuses! Across the hall? Summit County Metropolitan Housing! When we aren't getting questions about the SSA, we are almost certainly getting questions about rent assistance and public housing. And instead of leaving clients with phone numbers, we can just point across the hall.

This is awesome!

Also here: The BMV to help with IDs. The Office of Vital Statistics to help with birth certificates. And, of course, our good friends at Job and Family Services to help with pending cases and unemployment.

I love events that click like this. There are hundreds of volunteers and almost every appropriate county agency is here looking to help. It is a privilege to be part of something so great.
