The independent short film, "How To Sleep In The Cold" tells the story of one wealthy man who seems to have everything, and one homeless woman who's mere belongings get stolen all the time.  According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, there were 771,480 homeless people in the US on January, 2024.  That figure increased 18% from the previous year.  While homelessness in Tampa does not get national attention, the number of homeless here is growing 4% - 5% a year.

It's a crushing problem that's far from receding.  This page lists various resources for homeless people and homeless prevention through your donation or volunteering.
