If you want to be in the know about what’s going on at The Open Link, you’ve come to the right place.
The Open Link has been working with an all-volunteer group – The Upper Perk Homelessness Coalition (UPHC), for about a year to identify and support those who are experiencing homelessness in our community. While this might seem like a “big city” problem, nationally homelessness increased 12.1% in just one year (2022 to 2023). The pandemic and lingering mental health issues, along with the high cost of housing have been identified as factors in that significant jump during this period.
