ChristNet promotes cooperation among churches and non-profit organizations as we strive to assist our brothers and sisters in God’s family.	Project Homeless Connect... ChristNet Center is partnering with the Out Wayne County Homeless Services Coalition to host the *2009 Project Homeless Connect* event. A One Day, One-Stop Shop for the community’s homeless population, *Project Homeless Connect* is terrific way for those in need to gain access to vital services. It is not just a day for people to wait in line, but a day for people to make changes, and have immediate access to essential services. Read More ChristNet Bowling Fundraiser...

ChristNet is excited to tell the story of former guest Montie, a homeless man who hadn't seen his cousin in nearly 40 years.

ChristNet is a seasonal rotating overnight shelter for men, women, and children when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. As a shared ministry of more than fifty Protestant and Catholic churches in the Downriver and western Wayne County suburbs, the goal of ChristNet is to insure that no one has to be left out in the cold. Guests receive a warm place to stay overnight and three meals, and they may stay for up to thirty days. There is no charge. ChristNet provides temporary overnight rotating shelter and supportive services to homeless persons in a safe and caring environment, and we identify and coordinate mainstream resources to help those in need re-stabilize their lives. Guest needs are addressed by our case manager and client advocate and also through referral to area agencies that provide specialized services and assistance. Our Programs include... Seasonal Overnight Shelter Daytime Center Health and Medical Services Case Management Employment Training ChristNet is a Member of the Out-Wayne County Homeless Services Coalition... Since its inception in 1993, the Coalition, an informal partnership between over thirty agencies, organizations and governmental units, has led the effort to create a more unified front in combating the causes of homelessness in Out-Wayne County. The member organizations who became involved did so to form a continuum of care that would address the specific needs of Out-Wayne County's homeless population while fostering better communication and closing service gaps. By basing service delivery on customer need rather than agency or funder-driven priorities, Coalition was strengthened. Using these principles as their framework, the Coalition established clear and definitive goals that continue to move its efforts today.
