Homelessness isn’t what you think.

Last night children celebrated birthdays in cars, shelters, and motels.

Families are the fastest-growing face of homelessness in America.

Give a child a safe place tonight in and around Tampa Bay.

About

Estimated 1.2 Million Children are without a home in the U.S.A.

Homelessness is often the result of impossible circumstances—like fleeing domestic violence, aging out of foster care, or recovering from a medical crisis.

Nearly 3 in 10 people experiencing homelessness are families with children.

Over 60% of communities have seen more homeless teens.

Many people experiencing homelessness do have jobs. Rent has grown 5x faster than wages.

At Metro Ministries, we meet urgent needs with long-term solutions.

Every person who walks through our doors gets more than a meal or a bed. They receive the tools to stabilize, heal, and rebuild their life.

• Safe shelter and warm meals
• Counseling and recovery programs
• Job training and employment support
