That's why we're excited to open the Request for Proposals process and get a chance to work with some of you through the Connections Project. The Connections Project is a three year, place-based, systems-level collaboration and capacity-building invitation to communities nationwide. The goal of the Connections Project is to increase employment and economic opportunity for homeless jobseekers through systems change. The Connections Project Request for Proposals aims to identify, through a multi-phase competitive process, up to five Connections Project Sites that will plan, implement, and strengthen innovative systems collaboration ideas in order to meet the goal of increasing employment and economic opportunity for homeless jobseekers. Selected Connections Project Sites may be awarded funding of up to $125,000 per Connections Project Award Site over the full project period, intensive technical assistance, and peer learning opportunities.
