“Although homelessness can happen to anyone, it just wasn't expected.”
Linda Lewis

Rep. Priscilla Taylor
“We started working together with the city administration to help orphans. When we saw the needs of the homeless children, that is where our focus turned and continues to this day.”

Denise Horsman
“When you criminalize homelessness, you're not getting to the root of the problem. I don't think that's the face that St. Petersburg wants to have.”
James Bennett
“When you're homeless, you got to go to your storage locker, get your clothes for work, come back, sleep in the church, get ready for work, go to work and its hectic all day.”
