HAUPPAUGE - Suffolk County Executive Steven Levy announced his “Stand Up for the Homeless,” will take place June 27 and is designed to bring the homeless population in touch with over 35 nonprofit and government agencies providing free services.

The event will reach out to all homeless individuals and families, whether in public shelters or not, to encourage them to take advantage of the many services available to them.

“In Suffolk County, we’re serious about our mission to end homelessness,” Levy said. “That’s why we’ve pulled out all of the stops for Stand Up. We want to provide every possible service imaginable to these individuals so that they have all of the opportunities they need to return to permanent housing.”

This event is the first major undertaking by Levy’s 10-year plan committee, commissioned in April.

Round trip transportation will be provided for those homeless individuals who need it at several designated pickup points around Suffolk County.

Some services include health and dental screenings through Suffolk County’s Department of Health Services and the Tzu Chi Foundation, information on employment opportunities, housing and shelter placement, free haircuts, and public assistance counseling.
