CCFL’s Community Services Division assists the Lincoln Homeless Coalition with the yearly planning and management of Project Connect Lincoln. At this one-day, one-stop event, individuals and families who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness receive a wide variety of immediate, on-site services and support at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
The Community Services team led the check-in for 727 guests on September 30, 72 more guests than in 2025. Veteran participation increased from 30 to 46. Many community agencies, businesses, and individuals dedicated to addressing the needs of people experiencing homelessness donated their time and resources.
Medical and behavioral health professionals were on-site to offer medical, dental, mental health, and substance use services. Other organizations assisted with housing and social services applications, legal issues, and personal care. Additional service providers had staff available to provide information and help guests access off-site services such as education, crisis intervention, and basic needs.
CCFL’s Tax Credit Alliance of Nebraska team was also at the event. They provided tax preparation and financial education services to over 50 guests.
