YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Local Veterans and community members in need will have a chance to access essential services at this week's free Community Resource Fair, hosted by the Yuma Coalition to End Homelessness (YCEH).

The fair, set for Wednesday, April 8, at the Heritage Library on Third Avenue, will bring together more than 30 local agencies to provide help with housing, employment, healthcare, mental health services, legal assistance, and more.

"Our goal is to help people find long-term stability through local support services," said a spokesperson for YCEH. "This is a no-barrier event, open to anyone who needs assistance."

What to Expect

Attendees can expect a wide range of support, including:

• Housing programs and referrals
• Healthcare and behavioral health services
• Employment assistance and job resources
• Legal aid and youth programs
• Essential items such as hygiene products, food, and clothing

The fair will also offer Coordinated Entry Assessments, helping those experiencing homelessness get connected to housing programs based on eligibility and availability.

No appointments are necessary. Residents are encouraged to bring friends or family and take advantage of this opportunity to connect directly with service providers.

"Real people, real help, real connections...that's what this fair is about," said organizers. "We hope everyone in need takes advantage of this day of support."
