Morris County Sheriff's Office

Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon and a Hope One team were excited to participate Thursday, January 23, in the annual Project Homeless Connect event in Morristown that brought people in need together with social service and non-profit agencies.
"Helping and supporting people who are struggling is a priority in Morris County. Giving people a ‘help up,’ rather than a ‘hand-out,’ is part of the generous Morris County attitude,” Sheriff Gannon said.
Organized by the Mental Health Association of Essex and Morris, Project Homeless Connect offered free haircuts, make-up sessions, vaccinations and health screenings, clothing, backpacks, and resources to aid in securing housing, day care, medical, veterans and other services.
The event supported by about 40 service providers was held at St. Peter's Church in Morristown from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Morris County Sheriff's Office Hope One team had a stupendous day that included the pleasures of distributing to 50 people blessing bags, hats and scarves donated to Hope One by the Sisters of Christian Charity of Mendham, and giving a toddler a new toy truck to enjoy.
Eleven people were trained aboard Hope One on how to administer Narcan to reverse an opioid overdose, including a woman whose friend had overdosed, several volunteers, a homeless shelter employee and a man who witnessed a friend's overdose.
Boy Scout Troop 173 and Cub Scout Pack 5, both of Parsippany, collected many pounds of clothing and coats over the past year that event consumers were free to browse and select.
One year ago, 388 homeless individuals were living in Morris County, according to the annual Point In Time Count. The U.S. Census cites $1,526 as the average rent in Morris County.
Between November 2019 and January 21 in Morris County, a Code Blue has been called 36 times, meaning emergency shelter plans in all municipalities were activated so that homeless people were sheltered for the night. ... See more
